Abstract: The reason for having the first international academic conference «Leo Tolstoy’s Heritage in the Context of Contemporary Studies in the Humanities» in Tomsk is the role of Tomsk State University Academic Library in the preservation of the personal library of Leo Tolstoy and artifacts from the Yasnaya Polyana Museum during the Great Patriotic War. In 1941 all moveable artifacts from Tolstoy’s House were brought to Tomsk from Yasnaya Polyana and were kept at the TSU Academic Library until 1945. «Leo Tolstoy’s Heritage in the Context of Contemporary Studies in the Humanities» is an important part of a series of international academic conferences dedicated to Leo Tolstoy’s 180 anniversary (2008) and centenary of his death (2010). The conference had taken place during three days and consisted of six sessions, the participants of which were 36 researchers from Russia, USA, France and Kuwait. The Conference Proceedings will be published in 2010 in the collection of essays «Tolstoy and Time».
