Austrian diplomat, ex-minister of Foreign Affairs Karin Kneissl dreams to see Russian province, described by Russian classical writers, she admitted in her interview to RIA Novosti.

Kneissl said that she read many pieces but preferred Leo Tolstoy works. While being in our country she's really inspired to visit Tolstoy Museum-Reserve Yasnaya Polyana. "It was kind of self-promice to see this place for real, to feel the soul of the place where he was creating," underlined Kneissl.

Last summer Vladimir Putin attended marriage ceremony of Karin Kneissl and financier Wolfgang Meilinger. Russian President presented rustic landscape artwork, antique oil squeezer, Tula Samovar and Cuban Cossack chir performance.
