Oleg Deripaska called for "change his mind"

Businessman Oleg Deripaska published a fragment of Lev Tolstoy's article about the war written in 1904. He was able to publish it only abroad during the Russo-Japanese War.

Deripaska published in his telegram channel a fragment of Tolstoy's article "Refume!" He did not indicate whether she was correlated with some current events, and did not accompany her with comments at all.

Oleg Deripaska cited the following fragment: “... the war begins ... and the very people who still proved cruelty, unnecessary wars yesterday, now they think, they say, they write only about how to beat as many people as possible, to ruin as many works of people's labor, and as if as much as possible to light the passions of the murderer in those peaceful, harmless hardworking, hardworking People who feed, put on their labors, contain those very imaginary-enlightened people who make them perform these terrible, nasty of their conscience, good and faith in business. ”

Leo Tolstoy wrote the article "Courage!" In 1904 during the Russo-Japanese War. In Russia, in the context of censorship, it was impossible to publish it, so it was first released in the form of brochures in England, and then printed in the London newspaper Times. The article later appeared on the editorials of other publications.

In the Russian Empire, the press associated with reactionists in power published angry materials about Tolstoy, accusing him of “antipatriotic”. “Moscow Vedomosti” wrote that war is not a disaster, but “salvation”.

The largest assets of Rusal in Siberia are associated with Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska. He previously called for the "world".
