Forget Google, and Yahoo Answers for that matter. I'm sure there'a fine biography of Tolstoy at your local library. That's the only place you're going to get enough reliable facts to write a paper on him.

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (September 9 [O.S. August 28] 1828 – November 20 [O.S. November 7] 1910), commonly referred to in English as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer – novelist, essayist, dramatist and philosopher – as well as pacifist Christian anarchist and educational reformer. He is perhaps the most influential member of the aristocratic Tolstoy family.
As a fiction writer Tolstoy is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all novelists, particularly noted for his masterpieces War and Peace and Anna Karenina. In their scope, breadth and realistic depiction of 19th-century Russian life, the two books stand at the peak of realist fiction. As a moral philosopher Tolstoy was notable for his ideas on nonviolent resistance through works such as The Kingdom of God is Within You, which in turn influenced such twentieth-century figures as Mohandas K. Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr

If you would type :Leo Tolstoy in your search bar you can get a lot of sites on him. There is one that tells of his life, books, quotes and other items.

From the University of Virginia:

From PBS:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/anna/timeline_text.html

I got both of those from the Wiki page on the author. Often a good place to start.
