Most of Tolstoy's books came from the grandmothers in the home library - all the Soviet publications. I only bought a collection with the "Cruiser Sonata", "The Devil", "Father Sergey" and other too perverse manifestations of Tolstoy talent for Soviet grandmothers when needed in the universe.
And scandals around network libraries in Tolstoy is not because he is more willing to pay for it, but because seventy years since his death has already passed and Tolstoy - public property, not a trademark of some publishing house.
