About Tolstoy praising the Boxer rebellion

[edit]

some other websites/sources say that actually he asked the Chinese to keep pacifists and non-violent although he was for the idea of Chinese being free from European influences and being independent as he suggested for India. I think the article does not explain that he wanted the Chinese not to use violence looking like he actually praised something like the Boxer rebellion (the Boxer rebelled in a very violent way, making many people lose their life, which could not be coherent with the Pacifists ideas and ideologies and ideals of Tolstoy). Therefore I do believe this passage should be better explained.

Here is the website saying he wanted the Chinese not to be violent during the Boxer rebellion: https://www.rbth.com/arts/history/2016/11/14/how-leo-tolstoy-supported-anti-imperialist-movements-in-asia_647491

Quote from the link above: "He said the Chinese people were undergoing a great and heavy trial but asked them to remain non-violent."

Also all the first part of the article about the Boxer rebellion is all relevant. 5.168.180.77 (talk) 22:48, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Which Caesar?

[edit]

"from Nemec, from the lands of Caesar"

I think the link to Caesar and the explanation of "Nemec" is wrong. To me it reader like a reference to the Holy Roman Empire, i.e., Germany under the Caesar/Emperor. The article Tolstoy family does not have the quotation but it backs up this interpretation. Srnec (talk) 13:28, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate sections

Sections 8 and 13 are both headed "bibliography". Dutchy45 (talk) 05:33, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the book from the Bibliography section into the Further Reading section, and deleted the second Bibliography section. aps (talk) 17:17, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
