Leo Tolstoy as seen by BBC

Producer of the BBC project Tom Birchenough is convinced that the interest in Leo Tolstoy's personality abroad will never fade away, since his work has always been acquainting people with the realities of Russian life and culture. The attention of the British is drawn not only to the writer himself - they also plan to find answers to a number of questions concerning present-day Russia, in particular, what kind of ideas suggested by Tolstoy are still relevant in our country and to what extent the young generation is familiar with his work.

I wonder if the Beeb can make even Tolstoy dull?
