For other uses of "Resurrection", see Resurrection (disambiguation).
Resurrection (Russian: Воскресение), first published in 1899, was the last novel written by Leo Tolstoy.
The last of his major long fiction works published in his lifetime, Tolstoy intended the novel as an exposition of injustice of man-made laws and the hypocrisy of institutionalized church. It was first published serially in the magazine Niva as an effort to raise funds for the resettlement of the Dukhobors.
Opera Risurrezione by Italian composer Franco Alfano is based on this novel.
