relation between the tolstoy families

Tatyana Tolstaya is also related to the great writer Leo Tolstoy, but the article makes no mention of this (which is ridiculous). The editorial review from Publisher's Weekly on Amazon's page for the English translation of The Slynx says she's his great-grandniece, but the relation seems to be more complicated than that, judging from the family tree on the Tolstoy family article. Somebody should take a look at it and figure out what the link is exactly.145.116.8.87 (talk) 03:20, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

according to the russian wikipage family section says

   mother's grandpa — boris mihailovich sapirov, army medical doctor, red cross (ICRC) activist (or sg similar), Leib-medic ("Leib" sounds
like a german-origin word, perhaps it means sg like daily life/normal healthcare doctor, but feel free to clarify that further since i am
just giving an opinion here) of Nikolai II (must be a tsar, so i guess), "actual secret advisor" (probably my wording is wrong, this is a
name of a government-office rank title).
   mother's father — michael leonidivich lozinsky, literature translator, poet.
   father's father — aleksei nikolaevich tolstoy, writer (i think he wrote the "golden key - adventures of buratino" a story based on the
pinocchio novel by some italian author).
   father's mother — natalia vasilevna krandievskaya-tolstoya, poet.
   father — nikita alekseyevich tolstoy, physicist, also some social and political activity.
   mother — natalia mihailovna lozinskaya (tolstoya)
   sister — natalia nikitichna tolstaya, writer, lecturer/teacher of svedish languge at the scandinavian philology department (within the
faculty of philology and arts of SPBGU university).
   brother — ivan nikitich tolstoy, philologist, historian of emigration, specialized on the cold war period. founder of radio
"freedom/svoboda" «Свобода».
   brother — mikhael nikitich tolstoy, physicist, also some social and political activity.
   elder son — artemiy lebedev, designer, art director of "studio artemiy lebedev", blogger at  "Живой журнал (live journal)" [29].
   younger son — aleksey andreyevich lebedev, photographer, software designer, lives in usa. married.[30]

-so this data doesn't support a close relation between the lev tolstoy (author of anna karenina, war and peace)( family and this family, thoug h most likely there is some rather distant familiar connection.(92.249.201.110

Bibliography

Have commenced tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 05:51, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Updated guidelines:

Cite templates will be used where possible.
Tables may be used to organise short stories, poems and/or book reviews.
I prefer capitalization and punctuation to follow the standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, rather than "title case".
Links (either direct or indirect) to potentially unreliable or incomplete digitised copies and to booksellers may be removed.

This is a work in progress; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 11:14, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Page vandalism: death?

Came to this page today to find it said that she is dead. She is not dead. I wonder if someone vandalized the page for some reason. Tolstaya got some heat for comments about the Russia/Ukraine War, so possibly a reaction to that. I'm new to editing Wikipedia, so am unsure how to check when a previous edit happened. Russian-language Wikipedia does not contain the misinformation.173.95.182.214 (talk) 04:31, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Had to edit the page again today. She isn't dead. The source that's being cited to substantiate the fact of her death is from 2018 and says nothing about her being dead. Why do this? Heysickah (talk) 16:32, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's no indication that she died. The reference provided in this edit doesn't mention her death, and it's from 2018 – three years before she was supposed to have died! The user responsible has been warned. Favonian (talk) 17:48, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
