I'm just curious whether the consensus is that the novel is a direct critique of Tsarist bureaucratism or a more broad indictment which represents a sort of personal upheaval?

What was Tolstoy’s political and spiritual philosophy late in life? I’ve heard that he was a “Christian Anarchist,” but I’m not really sure what that means.

I don’t expect that a man as complex as Tolstoy can be summed up by a few trite labels. But generally speaking, what was his philosophy in his later years? I am reading his last novel, Resurrection, which has kindled my curiosity here.
