This drama was  shown in one of the...foremost theaters in St.Petersburg in January 1904 and was  much noted . Some critics were very positive. Among them was the poet Fiedler, who translated the drama to German.: He wrote among other things:
'From the five parts of the  poetic drama of the Bab we get more information about the Bahai-movement than from the deep scientific research done by professor Edward G.Browne, Gobineau and the Russian scientists and historians...Seldom has a play received such fame, before it was played on  scene.'
'Leo Tolstoy read this drama about the Bab with keen interest' his secretary Valentin Bulgakov said,' and he wrote a letter to Isabel Grinevsky. He praised her work and said he was in agreement of the teachings of the Bahai Faith.'

His letters to her was published in the Russian press and Tolstoy kept studying the Bahai Teachings in his old days with a growing interest. He gathered and gave away Bahai litterature in many languages.
