The title of this paper is Tolstoy’s Philosophy of Non-violence: A Discourse and the major thesis projected in this research is the idea that the actualization of peace, as demonstrated in Tolstoy’s philosophy of non-violence, requires the adoption of a revolutionary approach which has the potential of terminating the vicious circle of violence.

After the reports of the atrocities in Bucha and Mariupol, I had a hard time processing my relationship to Russian literature. The more I thought of it, however, the more I realized that while Russian literature cannot explain or forgive the war crimes committed by Vladimir Putin and Russian soldiers, we must not forget the Russians who stand for something different. Russians do not speak with one voice any more than Americans or Indians do, and canceling all Russian voices is to risk becoming more like the thing we despise: prejudiced, hostile toward a group of people born in a certain place, to a particular group. Literature opens our eyes to worlds and perspectives and helps us overcome our separations. It increases our capacity for empathy.
