Countess Alexandra (Sasha) Lvovna Tolstaya (Russian: Александра Львовна Толстая; 18 June 1884 – 26 September 1979), often anglicized to Tolstoy, was the youngest daughter and secretary of the noted Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy.
Alexandra worked during these years to publish sets of Tolstoy's works, and she worked with Zadruga Publishing House from 1917 to 1919 to publish thirteen booklets on Tolstoy's writings, which had previously been censored under Russia's imperial rule; however, publishing a complete collection of Tolstoy's works proved to be more difficult.
Alexandra is believed to have been born in Moscow to Count Andrei Andreevich Tolstoy (1771–1844) and Praskovia Vasilievna (née Barykova; 1796–1879). She had two brothers, Ilya (1813–1879) and Vasily (1813–1841), who devoted themselves to the military, and two sisters, Elizaveta (1815–1867) and Sophia (1824–1895), who like herself would remain unmarried.
Anna Karenina (Russian: Анна Каренина, IPA: [ˈanːə kɐˈrʲenʲɪnə]) [1] is a novel by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy, first published in book form in 1878. Tolstoy called it his first true novel. [2]
Tolstoy's mother Alexandra Leontievna Turgeneva (1854–1906) was a grand-niece of Nikolay Turgenev, who had been a Decembrist, and a relative of the Russian writer Ivan Turgenev. She married Count Nikolay Alexandrovich Tolstoy (1849–1900), a member of the aristocratic Tolstoy family and a distant relative of Leo Tolstoy.
