Все сражения русской армии 1804–1814. Россия против Наполеона

The Napoleonic Wars were so large-scale, massive, long and bloody that they fully deserve the title of the First World War. In 1812, virtually all of continental Europe went on a campaign against Russia, and the four-day general battle near Leipzig is not in vain called the “Battle of the Nations”, which have never before suffered such losses - a total of more than a million killed and wounded in ten years. And since it was the Russian army that was the “core and main support, the backbone” of the anti-Napoleonic coalition (which even such a hater of Russia as Engels recognized), the lion’s share of the trials fell to the lot of the Russian soldier, who again proved his incredible stamina - blood, pain, inhuman suffering only strengthened his fighting spirit, and in the spring of 1814 our victorious troops took Paris. But first, the Russian Imperial Army had to go through the shame of Austerlitz and the most brutal defeat near Friedland, the catastrophic start of the First Patriotic War, the Borodino meat grinder, the loss of Moscow and the hardest trials of foreign campaigns ... This is a fundamental study dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the greatest triumph of the Russian Empire, restores the complete history of the Napoleonic Wars, covering all the campaigns and battles, without exception, in which the Russian army participated. A separate chapter is devoted to the price of victory and its consequences for Russia.
