This is a collection of first-person memoirs by Russian peasants who followed Leo Tolstoy's pacifist, vegetarian, anti-state teachings and then faced collectivization and Stalinist repression. It is edited and translated by William Edgerton, a Slavist who spent years tracking down these survivors and their manuscripts. The book suits readers of Soviet history, religious dissent and Tolstoy studies; it is a primary-source volume, not a narrative history, so it is denser than a biography like Tolstoy's own writings or a general account of the purges. Reviewers treat it as a rare and sobering document of a little-known movement.
