Best Answer

Leo Tolstoy joined the Russian army as a volunteer and served in the Caucasus during the ongoing, low-grade conflict Russia fought there seemingly indefinitely. Some referred to it as a war, and Tolstoy did see some action in it, but it was nowhere near the scale of the heroics of the Napoleonic war he later described in War and Peace.

Yet, Tolstoy's garrison life gave him both material and an opportunity to start his literary work.
