The Final Days of Leo Tolstoy Captured in Rare Footage from 1910
Briefly

On November 20, 1910, Leo Tolstoy, the revered author of classics like Anna Karenina, passed away at the age of 82, officially due to pneumonia.
Weeks before his death, Tolstoy made a dramatic decision to leave his wife and estate, moving towards a modest life away from wealth.
His final journey involved a train ride to the Caucasus, which ultimately taxed his frail health and led to his demise at a small station.
