During the time period, a divorce in Russia could only be requested by the innocent party in an affair and required either that the guilty party confessed or that the guilty party be discovered in the act of adultery. Karenin forces Anna to hand over some of Vronsky's love letters, which the lawyer deems insufficient as proof of the affair. Stiva and Dolly argue against Karenin's drive for a divorce.

Эта книга — об искусстве любить Россию и принимать её любовь. О том, как слова "широка страна моя родная" приобретают объём, когда жмёшь ветвь и карельской сосне, и сочинской пальме, словно руки друзьям. Махачкалинские облака-аксакалы, тверской жасмин у Дома Поэзии, аршинцевские заброшенные пляжи, выборгские поющие ангелы на крышах, оренбургские факелы газоперерабатывающего завода — то ли герои книги, то ли её соавторы. Истории, которые захотели быть услышанными, проступили сквозь кирпич и брусчатку, асфальт и горячую землю, старинные вывески и неоновые огни.
