The themes in Tolstoy’s works are still important and are close to the modern man, faith and friendship, the meaning of life, the pursuit of truth, love and understanding and forgiveness, the injustice and absurdity of war, the problem of everyday moral choice.

works of Aesop, Socrates, Homer, Herodotus and Xenophon from Greek into Russian. He also participated in the creation of a book about Socrates.
