Slovak Follower of L. Tolstoy Albert Škarvan and his Diaries

The paper deals with diaries of Slovak follower of L. Tolstoy Albert Škarvan (1869–1926), their full text published first in 2019. A significant part of the diaries is written in Russian and deals with the events in Russia. Since the publication was realized in Slovak, the author´s goal is to familiarize Russian scientific community with these rare materials. A. Škarvan´s diaries are the eyewitness evidence of the situation of the Slavs in Austro-Hungary and the spread of Pan-Slavism in Europe. They touch a lot of individual, sociopolitical and philosophical aspects: religion and true love for God, militarism and patriotism, Slavdom etc. This paper introduces just some of them: Škarvan´s spiritual connection with L. Tolstoy and the critical evaluation of D. Makovický and Tolstoy followers through the Christian ideals´ lens.
