Leo Tolstoy. "Prophet without honor"

"And then Leo Tolstoy and his conflict with the Church, as you can!" – the reader will say, after seeing this book and will be wrong. There are conflicts in the history to which mankind returns again and again – not because opened new facts, but because at a new stage of life old conflict suddenly filled with different content and requires different understanding. Society changes, break traditional notions, not to mention the views of the individual. And now, when the Church began to occupy a prominent place in public life and in the minds of many people, the question is: for what it is so disliked by the great Russian classic, disliked so much that stood one-on-one in combat it requires a response at the level of our current understanding. The answer is not single line, as in a computer game: who was right, who would win in this fight – and a complex, layered culture of the past and today, giving grounds for personal choice.
