December 6 will see the reopening of Leo Tolstoy Museum in the Starogladovskaya Stanitsa of Shelkovsky Region, Chechnya Republic, in a new building after many years of neglect.
      
      The opening ceremony is expected to be attended by the great writer’s descendant Vladimir Tolstoy, the director of the museum reserve Yasnaya Polyana.
      
      According to the museum director Salavdi Zagibov, Vladimir Tolstoy promised to help with restoration of the museum exposition. The exhibits will include moulages of the writer’s personal weapons, as well as his clothes and furniture. One of the highlights of the exhibition will be a record of Leo Tolstoy’s voice made by Edison right after his invention of the phonograph.
