All of Tolstoy in One Click
Description *
All of Tolstoy in One Click is one-of-a-kind crowdsourcing project run by ABBYY, the Leo Tolstoy State Museum, and 3,000 devoted volunteers investing great effort in preserving the cultural heritage and introducing the complete works of Leo Tolstoy to the world. Volunteers from 49 countries digitized and proofread over 46,800 pages of his works using ABBYY optical recognition technologies. One year later, a standard digital version of the 90-volume collection went online. Now even Tolstoy’s rare works are accessible worldwide and it’s easy to learn and perceive the reality through the eyes of one of the greatest writers.
