The Russian Oligarch describes the vast, acquired wealth of some businessmen of the former Soviet republics during privatization in Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In 1828, Leo Tolstoy was born to an aristocratic Russian family. He is known for his novels, "War and Peace," and "Anna Karenina."

The Tolstoys were a prominent family of old Russian nobility. Tolstoy's conversion from a dissolute and privileged society author to the spiritual anarchist inspired others to follow a similar path. Tolstoy’s contemporaries paid him lofty tributes.
