Ney’s rearguard crossing the River Neman on December 13, 1812. The author reconstructs the events with reference to a significant number of French documents, many of which, stored in the archives of the Historical Service of the Ministry of Defense and the National Archives of France, have never been an object of scholarly research previously. The data proposed by the author confirm the fact of the most difficult conditions in which the troops of the central grouping of Napoleon’s army left the Russian territory. The situation was aggravated by the fact that leaving the army, Napoleon was overly optimistic about the prospects for completing the Russian campaign, counting on the possibility of the troops occupying winter apartments soon in Vilna region. At ...

La entrada en Moscu fue la cima de su exito, y su partida, el comienzo de la terrible retirada que lo condujo a la derrota. Afincado en la capital sacra de Rusia, el emperador frances sobrestimo la desmoralizacion del ejercito enemigo tras la batalla de Borodino, fue incapaz de prever la disposicion de los rusos para resistir –impensable para los europeos occidentales– y subestimo la resolucion del emperador Alejandro I para combatir hasta el final. El Gran incendio de Moscu, que destruyo tres cuartas partes de la ciudad, cogio a Napoleon desprevenido y tuvo un efecto negativo en su ejercito.

No battle in that short but decisive war has been more famed than the struggle that took place on the fields of Borodino just west of Moscow. Scholars from every nation whose forces

Syuryuga, mentor of Count Alexander Musin-Pushkin’s children in the beginning of XIX century, the author raises the problem of correlation between the effectiveness of the methods and techniques of education and training with the moral and ethical foundations of Russian society.

As the 200th anniversary of Napoleon’s death approached, a serious debate broke out in France, sometimes turning into sharp public clashes on various issues of Napoleon’s policy. A characteristic feature of the discussions was the transfer of the controversies of today (democracy or authoritarianism; the role and place of women in society; repentance or refusal to repent in relation to the slavery of black people, etc.) to the realities of the historical past. In this situation, French historians have made significant efforts to thoroughly study the events and processes of the turn of the nineteenth century and shown the state and society the illegitimacy of such a “modernisation” of the past. Several brilliant and deeply founded works by T. Lenz and other researchers, mainly from the N...

In the process the author seeks to determine the degree of importance of these documents and analyze their influence upon existing ideas of the decisive battle of the Patriotic War of 1812. The author concludes that the letters of Napoleon published in the aforementioned book do not substantively change historians’ general understanding, formed over the past decade, of the French Grande Armée’s preparations for the battle of the Moscow River or its consequences. The documents mainly demonstrate or specify some general or particular information in relation to the French Army and its leader’s actions in the beginning of September 1812.Предлагается обзор документов, публикованных в 2012 г. французскими историками в 12-м томе «Общей корреспонденции Наполеона Бонапарта» применительно к ...
