# Tolstoy leaves Yasnaya Polyana on 28 October 1910 and dies at Astapovo on 20 November

Date: 1910

## The fact

On 28 October 1910 [Tolstoy](/people/leo-tolstoy) left Yasnaya Polyana after a long dispute over diaries, copyright, and household authority, and died at Astapovo station on 20 November 1910. It is one episode, not two cosmetic twins.

It is one event.

## Context

Museum and Britannica independently date the flight and the station death. Property and disciple conflicts with Sophia Tolstaya and Vladimir Chertkov are the sourced household file. This catalog does not invent a bedroom scandal. Later Soviet tomb tourism is not 1910.

Leo Tolstoy’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Conventional years are 1828–1910. Surviving public files are later museum pages, collected-works sites, library catalogues, and encyclopedias. Tolstoy did not typeset those later pages.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

The estate museum and Britannica independently date 28 October departure and 20 November 1910 death at Astapovo.

Official or archival record: Yasnaya Polyana Museum-Estate — official English page (https://ypmuseum.ru/?lang=en; Museum-Estate of L. N. Tolstoy “Yasnaya Polyana”).

## Significance

Cohesion-cost path. High confidence on the dates; medium on unique legal-property coefficients.

## What is established and what is not

Established: he left on 28 October 1910 and died at Astapovo on 20 November. Not established: a unique will-contest statistic as a welfare series.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Leo Tolstoy.

They are not a public rating.

The driver `social-cohesion` is attached because the mechanism named in Significance follows from this instrument, not because a standing list of welfare headings needed another tick. Leo Tolstoy did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. A station death is not a novel. Do not split 28 October and 20 November into two welfare twins. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Leo Tolstoy.
