Count Alexei Konstantinovich Tolstoy (1817–1875) would remain in the history of Russian poetry and literature thanks to his lyrical masterpiece “Among the Noisy Ball...”. But he created the mighty historical canvas “Prince Silver”, the famous dramatic trilogy about the Russian tsars, the unfading satire “The History of the Russian State...”, topical to this day. His contribution to the works of the well-known Kozma Prutkov is invaluable. The noble talent of A.K. Tolstoy and his work still remain a living literary phenomenon.
