Together with Dostoevsky and Turgenev, Tolstoy (1828 - 1910) is one of Russia's most famous writers. In his epic historical novel "War and Peace", he describes the lives of Russian noblemen and common people during the time of Napoleon's invasion and eventual withdrawal. The sculpture depicts the people leaving a Moscow thrown into chaos by the 1812 Fire of Moscow, one of the scenes from "War and Peace".
