In this #StudentSpecial, Babalo Ngoma shares her research on Lev (Leo) Tolstoy. This famous Russian writer wrote books such as "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina." We learn more about these works, but also look at the light his writing sheds on 19th century Russia. He once remarked that we are all born innocent, but that institutions corrupt us. He was quite critical of the institutions of serfdom and the Russian Orthodox Church. Babalo made use of several sources, but one we want to point out is Mark Steinberg @TheGreatCourses.
