Count Nikolai Ilyich Rostov (Russian: Николай Ильич Ростов, Nikolaj Il'ič Rostov) is a character in Leo Tolstoy's 1869 novel War and Peace. Count Nikolai is the brother of Vera Rostova, Natasha Rostova and Petya Rostov. At the start of the novel, Nikolai is aged 20 and a university student. He gives up his studies in a zealous desire to serve his country as a Hussar in the fight against Napoleon's French invading forces. He dreams of manly success and glory in battle, although these dreams are somewhat undermined after he falls and is injured in the Battle of Schöngrabern. Nikolai is initially easily influenced and acts out of emotional responses; unlike his childhood friend, the social climber Boris Drubetskoy, who writer Dimitri Pisarev regarded "as the complete antithesis".

| - Count Nikolai Ilyich Rostov (Russian: Николай Ильич Ростов, Nikolaj Il'ič Rostov) is a character in Leo Tolstoy's 1869 novel War and Peace. Count Nikolai is the brother of Vera Rostova, Natasha Rostova and Petya Rostov. At the start of the novel, Nikolai is aged 20 and a university student. He gives up his studies in a zealous desire to serve his country as a Hussar in the fight against Napoleon's French invading forces. He dreams of manly success and glory in battle, although these dreams are somewhat undermined after he falls and is injured in the Battle of Schöngrabern. Nikolai is initially easily influenced and acts out of emotional responses; unlike his childhood friend, the social climber Boris Drubetskoy, who writer Dimitri Pisarev regarded "as the complete antithesis". He refuses to use his family's contacts to improve his rank in the army, and comes under the influence of the libertine Dolokhov, losing large amounts of money to him at cards. Nikolai promises to marry his cousin Sonya but on his first leave home he pays no attention to her, and regularly goes to visit a courtesan. When Nikolai's friend Dolokhov proposes to Sonya and is rejected, Nikolai is easily led to financial ruin and social humiliation by Dolokhov, who manipulates him into again losing 43,000 Rubles at cards. Later, Sonya releases Nikolai from his promise to marry her. The book ends with his successful marriage to Maria Bolkonskaya and the couple's close friendship with Natasha and Pierre Bezukhov. Also, Nikolai's mother and Sonya live with him and his family at Bald Hills. (en)
- Le comte Nicolas Ilitch Rostov (russe : Николай Ильич Ростов) est un personnage du roman Guerre et Paix de Léon Tolstoï. Fils du comte et de la comtesse Rostov et frère de Véra, Natacha et Pétia, il est tout comme Natacha un personnage vivant et parfois désinvolte. Son enthousiasme pour la guerre et l'admiration inconditionnelle qu'il voue au tsar le pousse à s'engager dans les hussards où il rencontre son futur ami Denissov. Peu à peu, il considère son engagement dans l'armée avec plus de maturité, sans pour autant remettre en cause les structures militaires et sociales (à l'inverse d'André Bolkonsky ou de Pierre Bézoukhov). Il refuse ainsi la compromission, attitude qui le séparera de son ami Boris Doubretskoi. Son caractère s'étoffe au contact de la pieuse princesse Marie Bolkonskaïa, pour laquelle il délaisse Sonia Rostova, son amour de jeunesse. Refusant, un temps seulement, de s'unir à Marie, il s'efforcera de rembourser les dettes de la famille Rostov en rentabilisant le domaine des Bolkonsky. « Sur ce champ gisaient, comme des gerbes bien garnies, des tas de dix, quinze hommes tués et blessés ; les blessés rampaient pour se réunir par deux et par trois, et poussaient des cris qui frappaient péniblement l’oreille de Rostov ; il lança son cheval au galop pour éviter ce spectacle des souffrances humaines. Il avait peur, non pas pour sa vie, mais peur de perdre ce sang-froid qui lui était si nécessaire et qu’il avait senti faiblir en voyant ces malheureux. » — (Livre 1)
