The end of the Little Russian legend “Forty years” (1899).
(Окончание малороссийской легенды «Сорок лет» | Okonchaniye malorossiyskoy legendy «Sorok let»).
Written in 1886. Published in the collection In memory of V. G. Belinsky (Памяти В. Г. Белинского | Pamyati V. G. Belinskogo) in March 1899. Forty years is a legend written by Nikolai Kostomarov in Ukrainian in 1840; he translated it into Russian in 1876 and published it in 1881. Three months after the death of Kostomarov in 1885, Ekaterina Junge asked her second cousin Leo Tolstoy, on behalf of Kostomarov’s widow, to write an explanation of the meaning of the legend, in order to defend its author from accusations of preaching atheism. Instead, Tolstoy, Nikolai Ozmidov and Vladimir Chertkov reworked Kostomarov’s text, and Tolstoy wrote a final chapter for it, describing the twelve years of torment endured by the hero as a punishment for his crimes. Kostomarov’s widow opposed the publication of the legend at that time, and Tolstoy only published his ending in 1899. The reworked version of the legend comprising Tolstoy’s ending was finally published in the magazine Obrazovaniye (Образование) in February 1902.
