Stiva meets old friend Konstantin Levin, a landowning aristocrat despised by Moscow’s elite for preferring the countryside to city life. Levin says he loves Stiva’s sister-in-law, Princess Kitty, and Stiva encourages him to propose. Kitty declines as she hopes to marry Count Alexei Vronsky, a wealthy officer.
