""Thoughts Evoked By The Census Of Moscow"" is a non-fiction book written by the renowned Russian author Leo Tolstoy. The book is a collection of essays and reflections on the state of Russian society and its problems, inspired by the results of the 1882 census of Moscow. Tolstoy uses the census data as a starting point to explore a wide range of social, economic, and political issues, including poverty, inequality, education, religion, and government corruption. He offers a scathing critique of the ruling elite and their disregard for the suffering of the masses, and argues that true progress and social justice can only be achieved through individual moral and spiritual transformation.Throughout the book, Tolstoy draws on his own experiences and observations, as well as on the works of other thinkers and writers, to present a compelling vision of a more just and compassionate society. His writing is passionate, insightful, and often controversial, and his ideas continue to inspire and challenge readers today. Overall, ""Thoughts Evoked By The Census Of Moscow"" is a powerful and thought-provoking work that offers a unique perspective on the social and political issues of Tolstoy's time, and remains relevant to modern readers interested in social justice and reform.The old woman burst forth into injurious words, interrupted by a cough. At that moment, an old man, all clad in rags, and as white as snow, came down the hill in the middle of the street, flourishing his hands [in one of them he held a bundle with one little kalatch and baranki"" {6}]. This old man bore the appearance of a person who had just strengthened himself with a dram. He had evidently heard the old woman's insulting words, and he took her part.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
