"For the Defense of Sevastopol." The horrors experienced by the defenders of the city are reflected in the "Sevastopol Tales," which were widely read and reached Alexander II. The Emperor was so impressed that he ordered them to be translated into French and published in the newspaper Le Nord, which was read on the opposing side. The story "The Cossack Captive" was written for "Azbuka" and first published in 1872. Tolstoy himself highly valued this story as a "sample of the techniques and language that I write and will write for the great ones."

The collection also includes stories such as "Two Hussars," "Decembrists," "Cossacks," and others.
