Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Tolstoy, or Tolstoi (Russian: ) is a prominent family of Russian nobility, descending from one Andrey Kharitonovich Tolstoy (i.e., "the Fat") who served under Vasily II of Moscow. The "wild Tolstoys" (as they were known in the high society of Imperial Russia) have left a lasting legacy in Russian politics, military history, literature, and fine arts. Andrey Kharitonovich Robden Tolstoy was in turn a great-grandson of some Indris who was "a man of distinguished ancestry" who came from "the Germans, the Caesar''s lands" (the Holy Roman Empire) to Chernigov, accompanied by his sons Litvinos and Zimonten and a force of 3000 men. This family legend is unverifiable. The family first reached prominence in the late 17th century, on account of its connections with the Miloslavsky clan to which Tsar Alexis'' first wife belonged. It was okolnichi Peter AndreevichTolstoy who decided the family fortune by casting his lot with the party of Peter the Great.
