Short description

On perçoit dans ces derniers textes de Tolstoï toute la modernité, on ose presque dire l’actualité de ses propos qui concernent le chômage, les entreprises qui ferment, les sans-logis, la faim ou les impôts injustes. La dénonciation de Tolstoï garde de nos jours toute sa force.

Extended description

Après 1905, le refus de Tolstoï de la violence motive son rejet de la révolution qu’il conçoit comme un déferlement de violences barbares tel que la Russie en a connu avec Pougatchev à la fin du xviiie siècle. Ce point de vue sur ces révoltes
conçues non comme un mouvement rationnel et organisé, mais comme un chaos, une vague de fond ravageuse hors de tout contrôle, ainsi qu’il l’exprime dans ce texte, fut celle de tout un courant de la pensée russe, notamment d’écrivains
comme Pilniak ou Boulgakov. Tolstoï a perçu cette résurgence d’un soulèvement primitif, cette menace d’un retour des âmes mortes ; il a de la compassion pour le peuple, mais il ne l’idéalise pas.
