Tolstoy

Note 8 — Chapter XI

Bernard Miall translation

The peasant-revolutionist Bondarev would have had this law recognised as a universal obligation. Tolstoy was then subject to his influence, as also to that of another peasant, Sutayev.—"During the whole of my life two Russian thinkers have had a great moral influence over me, have enriched my mind, and have elucidated for me my own conception of the world. They were two peasants, Sutayev and Bondarev." (What shall we do?)

In the same book Tolstoy gives us a portrait of Sutayev, and records a conversation with him.
