The famous Manifesto of Lev Tolstoy.
Year 1908 was a period of especially great number of death penalty executions, and the article ‘I can’t stay
silent’ was a reaction of the astonished writer.
For the first time the excerpts of the article were published on July 4, 1908 in the Newspapers ‘Russian Vedomosti’,
‘Word’, ‘Speech’, ‘Modern word’, etc., for what they were all fined. The Sevastopol publisher who pasted
throughout the city an issue of his newspaper with excerpts from ‘I can’t stay silent’ in the city, was arrested.
