"And again Leo Tolstoy and his conflict with the Church, how much more?!" - the reader will say, having seen this book - and he will be wrong. There are conflicts in history, to which humanity returns again and again - not because new facts have been discovered, but because at a new turn of life the old conflict is unexpectedly filled with a different content and requires a different understanding. Society changes, traditional ideas are broken - not to mention the views of an individual. And now, when the Church has begun to occupy a noticeable place in public life and in the consciousness of many people, the question: why did the great Russian classic dislike it so much, dislike it so much that he stood alone in the fight against it - requires an answer at the level of our current understanding. Not a one-line answer, like in a computer game: who was right, who won in this fight - but a complex one, overturned in the multi-layered culture of the past and providing today the basis for personal choice.
