MOSCOW, September 9 - RIA Novosti. Russian President Vladimir Putin will present Vietnamese leader To Lam with the original Ho Chi Minh article about the writer Leo Tolstoy, said the great-great-grandson of the great Russian writer Vladimir Tolstoy.

The ceremony for presenting the Leo Tolstoy International Peace Prize to Vietnamese President To Lam took place in the Kremlin on Wednesday.

Vladimir Tolstoy explained that the original of Ho Chi Minh's article about the writer Leo Tolstoy was found. The article was written by the founder of the Vietnamese state on the 50th anniversary of the death of the Russian classic.

“He was very much asked to write some words about Tolstoy. And he, despite his incredible busyness, these days, being here, wrote this text,” explained Vladimir Tolstoy.

“The President will present the leader of Vietnam with the original of this publication,” he told reporters.
