NAPOLEON AT BORODINO 7TH SEPTEMBER, 1812
BY VASILY VERESHCHAGIN
F
ought on 7th September, 1812, the Battle of Borodino was the bloodiest and the largest single day action of the French invasion of Russia and of all in the Napoleonic Wars. The advancing Grande Armée, lead by Napoleon attacked the Russian army, as they marched to Moscow. The two forces clashed near the village of Borodino, close to Mozhaysk. After bitter fighting the French managed to capture vital positions on the battlefield, forcing a Russian retreat, yet, they were unable to destroy the Russian army completely. The Battle resulted in at least 70, 000 casualties, out of just over 250,000 troops engaged. The Russians suffered similarly heavy losses, however, replacement depots and large forces of militia were already close by and ready to replenish their supply of men.
