I believe the answer is:

tolstoy

(Other definitions for tolstoy that I've seen before include "Count Leo . . . . . . ., author of 'War and Peace'" , "Russian novelist" , "He wrote Anna Karenina" , "Russian writer, 1828-1910" , "Lost toy of the Russian author" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
