Talented writers such as Lev Nikolayevich, Aleksey Nikolayevich and Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy are known to many people. Some people wonder who they nevertheless are among each other. Often their relationship is in doubt.
Upon a careful examination of the Tolstoy family, one can notice that the writers of Leo and two Alekseev have family ties. They all descended from the noble family of Tolstoy, whose roots begin in Germany. In the mid-14th century, their ancestor Indris left this country and was baptized in Chernigov.
Tolstoy pedigree
The genus of the Tolstoy family itself begins with his great-grandson, whose name was Andrey Kharitonovich. After living in Chernigov, he settled in Moscow. His first descendants were military personnel, which was a kind of tradition. However, in subsequent generations in the Tolstoy family, state political and great literary figures began to appear.
