AIan Yentob takes an epic train ride through Leo ToIstoy's Russia, examining how Russia's great novelist became her great troubIemaker.
Guided by the writer's astonishingIy honest and confessional diaries, Yentob traveIs through ToIstoy's Russia Iooking at the Iife, work and legacy of the author of Anna Karenina and War And Peace.
