 and 200 kilometer south of Moscow

 was the fourth of five children of Count
 Nikolai Ilyich Tolstoy, a veteran of the Patriotic War of 1812
, and Countess Mariya Tolstaya (Volkonskaya). Tolstoy’s parents died when he was young, so he and his siblings were brought up by relatives. In 1844, he began studying law and oriental languages at Kazan University. His teachers described him as «both unable and unwilling to learn.»
 Tolstoy left the university in the middle of his studies, returned to Yasnaya Polyana and then spent much of his time in Moscow and Saint Petersburg
. In 1851, after running up heavy gambling debts, he went with his older brother to the Caucasus
 and joined the army
. It was about this time that he started writing.
