RUSSIAN AND POLIS H HUMOR MAGAZINESON THE WILL OF LEO TOLSTOYSummaryThe article discusses publications concerning Leo Tolstoy’s will, which appearedsoon after his death in Polish (“Mucha”, “Kolce”, “Nowy Szczutek”) and Russian(“Satirikon”, “Budilnik”) humor magazines. These publications focused on two topics- open letters by Lev Lvovich Tolstoy (the son of the writer accused VladimirChertkov of the death of his father and concealing the last version of the will fromTolstoy’s family) and plans for selling Yasnaya Polyana, which were described in thedaily press. An analysis of publications shows that Polish humor magazines, like theRussian ones, judged the heir to Tolstoy’s property critically, but the criticism ofPolish press was not as harsh. However, unlike Russian magazines, Polish periodicalsclearly compared the writer with his mercantile sons and - which is interesting- with his wife. At the same time Polish opinion of the will as such was ambiguous.русские
