The role of the Leo Tolstoy Museum in the preservation of his spiritual heritage and the study of his philosophical views. Why was Leo Tolstoy excommunicated from the church?
The Leo Tolstoy Museum is a cultural landmark of our country and the world. This museum is also a research center. The museum creates interesting projects for working with children. Classes with children in the museum are based on the principles of Leo Tolstoy's pedagogy: "co-creation", a joint search for answers to questions, knowledge as a game, theatricalization. Children dress up in costumes and play the roles of the main characters of the works of Leo Tolstoy. An important topic for Leo Tolstoy was spiritual self-improvement as the goal and purpose of life. All his literary works are devoted to this (and this is what the museum is dedicated to). A huge influence on contemporaries was exerted not only by his literature, but also by philosophical works, and the very facts of his life. In the museum you can get acquainted with materials illustrating his opposition to the church. The conflict with the church is connected with the publication of many works. L.N. Tolstoy criticized the dogmas of the Orthodox Church, distributed brochures, which described his vision of Christianity, which differed from the generally accepted one. These ideas found a great response from people and were widely disseminated. A movement arose that became known as Tolstoyism.
