# Resurrection is published as a dated novel of courts, prisons, and conscience

Date: 1899

## The fact

In 1899 Resurrection appeared as a dated novel of jury service, prison stages, and moral responsibility. Proceeds were linked to Dukhobor aid in the public story. It is not the 1908 hanging letter as a twin.

It is one event.

## Context

Gutenberg and [Tolstoy](/people/leo-tolstoy).ru independently carry the text. Do not assign a unique repeal of hard labour to this colophon.

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, and encyclopedias. Tolstoy did not typeset those later pages. Posthumous museums and editions are evidence, not acts.

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

Tolstoy.ru and Gutenberg independently describe Resurrection as an 1899 public novel.

Official or archival record: Tolstoy.ru — collected works and estate portal (https://tolstoy.ru/; State Tolstoy Museum / Tolstoy.ru).

## Significance

Justice path via literature. High confidence on the 1899 publication.

## What is established and what is not

Established: Resurrection was published in 1899. Not established: a measured fall in wrongful convictions caused by the novel.

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.

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. Resurrection is not I Cannot Be Silent. Keep 1899 off the 1908 hanging letter. 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.
