Controversies

Pyotr Tolstoy's work is criticised for absence of impartiality and pro-governmental propaganda[7][8]

On 23 January 2017 he publicly claimed that grandchildren of those who sprang ... across the Pale of Settlement with Nagants in 1917 and were destroying our churches ... today they are working in revered places like radio stations and legislatory assemblies and are continuing that work.[9] Being publicly accused of antisemitism[10][11][12] he later denied any such context in his words.[13]
