- note: High-value centrepiece target. The autograph proofs with censor blue-pencil deletions and Tolstoy’s counter-revisions for the communion/liturgy scenes (chs XXXIX–XL) would be the most significant visual for the dive’s censorship thread. Not digitised online; access via museum reading room (Prechistenka, Moscow). The PSS vol. 33 “История писания и печатания” (pp. 329–422) gives the textual history; PSS vol. 32 pp. 471–505 publishes the censored variants. Physical proofs are in the Chertkov sub-fond of ГМТ.
