Fruits of Culture by graf Leo Tolstoy
"Fruits of Culture" by graf Leo Tolstoy is a play written in 1889–90 and published in 1891. This satirical work exposes the Russian landed aristocracy's condescending attitudes toward peasants during a time of social upheaval. Originally drafted as an incomplete manuscript, the play was completed at his family's urging for a private performance at Tolstoy's estate. The production blurred reality and fiction, using real names from local gentry. Konstantin Stanislavski's 1891 Moscow
production launched the play's enduring presence in Russian theater. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
