I never heard this story. I suppose it is true?

'You people are obsessed with judging. Don’t go so far. We only have a fragment. Life comes in fragments...
It is impossible to talk with you. You always draw conclusions.

AI slop, like most of Facebook "history" pages.
Think about it - the claim is that they married in 1862, that Sofia supported Leo through 58 years of marriage, and that she died in 1919, nine years after Leo died. You do the math.
The broad outlines might be generally accurate but I'd rather read history written by a person rather than a machine.

One would think machines could figure out basic addition.
