Tolstoy documentary

[harlo at MINDSPRING.COM]

There is a 25 minute documentary about Tolstoy made by Soviet television that is a very good introduction that was packaged with English voice-over translation by the SUNY-network in Albany under my direction in 1989 or so, it may be available through SUNY network in Albany.
