First separate edition. Text in Russian. First separate edition. Text in Russian. In publisher's printed wrappers. 28, (4). First separate edition of Tolstoy's essay on capital punishment and Christianity. Martial law was introduced in Russia during the turmoil time of repression after the 1905 Russian Revolution. Between 1906 and 1909 over 3,000 suspects were convicted and executed, while rebellion not ceased and attempts of political assassinations were also common. 1908 Tolstoy wrote three essays "I Cannot Be Silent", "The Law of Violence and the Law of Love" and this one, wherein he expressed his moral outrage and criticized the anti-Christian violence and counter-violence of both the government and the revolutionaries. "The Death Penalty and Christianity" was a response to an article written by the Prime Minister Pyotr Stolypin's journalist brother to justify the government's use of capital punishment on Christian grounds. The text was first published somewhat earlier than this first separate edition in the "????? ????"

Tolstoy's famous account of his spiritual crisis and conversion was first printed in Russkaia mysl' in 1882, but the censor immediately confiscated the entire print run. Although its publication inside Russia was legally impossible until 1906, the work was circulated illegally and printed abroad, and met with extraordinary interest by Tolstoy's readership. The publisher of the present edition, Posrednik, was founded in 1885 by followers of Tolstoy (Vladimir Chertkov and Pavel Biryukov) in order to make the writer's works available in affordable mass editions. Despite large print runs, many books published by Posrednik are rare; they were frequently read literally to pieces,and due to its religious nature, the later works of Tolstoy were removed from many Soviet libraries during the 1920s. Rare; as of February 2024, not in KVK, OCLC. Not at the Russian State Library.
