Tolstoy
![]() Tolstoy, or Tolstoi () is a prominent family of Russian nobility, descending from one Andrey Kharitonovich Tolstoy (i.e., "the Fat") who served under Vasily II of Moscow. The "wild Tolstoys" (as they were known in the high society of Imperial Russia) have left a lasting legacy in Russian politics, military history, literature, and fine arts. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ According to a much later genealogical fable, Andrey Kharitonovich Tolstoy was in turn a great-grandson of some Indris who was "a man of distinguished ancestory". Indris allegedly came from the Holy Roman Empire to Chernigov, accompanied by his sons Litvinos and Zimonten and a force of 3000 men. This is a typical genealogical mystification.
