I found this video on YouTube which was made by the CIA (yes the Central Intelligence Agency used to make films) of Tolstoy's daughter Alexandra speaking about her father and their family.
One of the comment's on YouTube mentions that Alexandra (Tolstoya, not to be confused with Alexandra Tolstoy) was quite a woman in her own right so I turned to Wikipedia and have to agree. She helped Nabokov and Rachmaninoff to escape Bolshevik persecution and settle in America.
It's definitely worth a watch for any fan of Tolstoy.
