Translated and edited by William Edgerton. Following the 1917 revolution, Russian Tolstoyan peasants, intellectuals, soldiers, and workers formed agricultural communes to live Tolstoys ideals of moral labor and stateless society. Facing forced collectivization, exile in Siberia, persecution, arrests, and imprisonment, they nonetheless upheld pacifism, vegetarianism, and communal farming, preserving a silenced spiritual legacy.
