In Kazan, the restoration of a cultural heritage site of regional significance - the house where Leo Tolstoy lived in 1845-1846 - has begun. The three-storey historical building on Bolshaya Krasnaya Street, where the Institute of Education Development of Tatarstan is now located, has lost many historical elements.
During the restoration work, specialists will reinforce the foundations and walls, repair the roof, and recreate wooden window fills with historic glazing. The forthcoming restoration will not only preserve the building, but also return the house to its appearance close to the time when young Leo Tolstoy lived there.
