To say that tolstoy is not responsible for the russian invasion while his portrait proudly hangs on the facade of the Mariupol Drama Theater where about 600 people, mostly children, were killed with an aviabomb...
He's a mascot. Him, and pushkin, and dostoevsky, and tchaikovsky, all provide the words and the sounds to violent russian invasions. They pave the path for fascist speeches, for manipulation with terms, settler colonialism, ethnic cleansings.
