I believe his staying in Russia is entirely in character, as we know he actually returned and stayed when he didn't have to at the time of the Revolution. Having arranged that his foster daughter escaped would be sufficient for him.
By the end of the,book, Anna is almost as old as Alexander. She hasn’t been on the stage for ages. Without her makeup, no one would recognize her, certainly people,so far removed from Moscow.
He clearly loved Sophia. I thought it was out of character for him to send her own her own to live in Paris forever without him. No, I think he wanted to say goodby to his old home. He meets up with Anna for one last drink and then she uses her connections to smuggle him - and herself- out of Russia to reunite with Sophia in Paris.
You have to remember that Sophia went to the American Embassy in Paris which strongly suggests that she sought political asylum and went to the States.
The Count was not a suicidal person...the very fact that he considered it once when younger and did not carry through shows his basic resilience and love of life. He returned to the joys of the simple life in the country he loved.
Rostov never intended to leave Russia and meet up with Sofia, as evidenced by the fact that he gave her the photo to remember him by.
