July 01, 1884

Died
September 26, 1979


Alexandra Lvovna Tolstaya, also known by her nickname Sasha, was the youngest daughter and secretary of the noted Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy.

Although Alexandra Lvovna shared with her father the doctrine of non-violence, she felt it was her duty to take part in the events of World War I. For her courage, the Russian government awarded her three St George Medals and the rank of colonel.

The Bolsheviks imprisoned Alexandra in 1920, but she was installed as the director of the Tolstoy museum in Yasnaya Polyana the next year. She left Russia in 1929, and settled in the United States, where she founded the Tolstoy Foundation.
