Count Pyotr Kirillovich "Pierre" Bezukhov (/bɛ.zjuːˈkɒv/; Russian: Пётр Кири́ллович "Пьер" Безу́хов) is the fictional protagonist of Leo Tolstoy's 1869 novel War and Peace. He is the favourite out of several illegitimate sons of the wealthy nobleman Count Kirill Vladimirovich Bezukhov, one of the richest people in the Russian Empire. Pierre is best friends with Andrei Bolkonsky. Tolstoy based Pierre, more than any other War and Peace character, on himself.
