(Russian: Надежда Климентевна Толстая) Countess, Nadine, Nadezhda
DOB: 1884 - Odessa, Imperial Russia

Nadia Tolstoy was the daughter-in-law of Count Leo Tolstoy, the Russian author of War and Peace. She was living with her husband Ilya outside of New York City. She had studied music at the University of Petrograd and spoke several languages. Interested in mystical literature and esoteric philosophy, Nadia was a sincere seeker of divinity; but merely reading books had not satisfied her and she was in search of a living Master.

Nadia and Ilya became friends with Malcolm and Jean Schloss. When they wrote to her of Meher Baba's visit, she came to Harmon for his blessing on November l9th. No sooner had she set eyes on Baba than she exclaimed, "My search is over!"

Nadia Tolstoy was later nicknamed Nadine by Baba.
