Great layout of the battle to help understand the narrative in Tolstoy’s War and Peace. I don’t know the accuracy of the depiction in Tolstoy or your rendition, but nice to get a better understanding of this major Napoleonic battle.
Both are fairly accurate. Tolstoy goes far more into (true) detail than you would expect from fiction.
Greg Kuznecoff check out epic history tv, they do a great job,
@@SoaringSuccubus he used real historical accounts and visited the battlefield himself several times to check if the historian he was taking the infos from was correct.
I have a great collection of French Grande Armee regimental Buttons & artefacts (some very rare) from the 1812 invasion of Russia.
All found by metal detector from various prominent locations along the route. Including the Berezina crossing.
Yes, well done as I read War & Peace. It's really a wonderful book. This map aids it considerably. Thanks.
My understanding of Russian pre-battle planning was that Kutuzov was convinced (I'm not sure why, specifically) that the French would try to force the Kolocha north of Borodino, and he kept his right flank in place too long, so that by the time they began to release to support the center, it was too late to stop the French advance there.
Just want to point out a few things. Kutuzov did absolutely nothing from his headquarters at Borodino. Moreover, the recent studies proof that Kutuzov slept while the battle was going on and orders were given mostly by Barclay De Tolly and Bagration. The only reason Aleksander appointed Kutuzov, was because Kutuzov was a true Russian. Barclay De Tolly was a better commander, but he was German and unpopular among Russian aristocracy. Russian nobility and officers didn’t like the fact that the Russian army was retreating all the time and blamed Barclay for this. They thought that he did this because he didn’t care about Russia (because of his German descent). This wasn’t true of course.
Most historians agree now that Kutuzov put his army defenses terribly. Russian’s right wing was facing no enemy troops and were useless. Russians constantly had to move their troops from the right side to bolster their center where the actual battle took place. These Russian troop movements were costly and easy target for Napoleon’s gunners. This is the main reason why Russian loses were greater than Napoleon’s. Just think for a minute, Russians made defenses while Napoleon’s troops were in the open and had to attack Russian positions. At that time, this would usually mean more casualties for the advancing army. But this is not what happened for the reason that I just stated above.
Another fact that just recently was discovered and published. Russians had approximately 30,000 wounded troops that were taken to Moscow after the battle (right before Napoleon took Moscow). When the Moscow was set on fire by Russian prisoners/police, most of those wounded were left behind and died because of this fire.
Also, we should remember that Napoleon wasn’t planning to go to Moscow from the start and he wasn’t interested in occupying Russian territories. That was never his intention. His plan was to defeat Russian army at the boarder and make Russia his ally again. He wanted Russia to follow his “Continental Blockade” against United Kingdom. The reason Napoleon ended up in Moscow was because Russians were constantly retreating in the direction of Moscow, and Napoleon had to follow Russians to Borodino village. If the Russian army was retreating to Saint Petersburg (their capital city) this is where Napoleon would go instead.
However, even though the Russians lost Borodino battle, Napoleon’s venture into Russia was a big mistake.
Sorry for the long comment
No mention of the 26 batteries of Russian artillery that went unused because Kutaisov the artillery commander was killed. No mention that it was German cavalry that took the Grand Redoubt. No mention of the fact that Kutuzov and Napoleon played little part in rhe battle as both had sickness and mainly stayed in their tents or just outside. 70000 dead in one day. Only at the Somme did this destruction happen again. Typhus was rampant in the Grande Armee. 4000 to 6000 troops were dying a day as the Grande Armee crossed the Niemen. Over 200000 dead through typhus alone. It wasn't the Russian winter that did for Napoleon, it was the east European summer which took out a quarter of his army in two months.
There was also some sort of rampant infection from lice, is that the Typhus? There is a vid that show exhumed French, there teeth all show the desease and the uniforms all are infected with lice.
originally russia had 640 cannons but 16 of them were handed to Tchaikovsky
he did taked out 2 bells too
For a composer that was pro
Thanks for the video, Corvus.
I have two things to say, if you don't mind.
Firstly, I would be very glad if you put some sort of source in the description: Not necessarily the sources you used for the specific video, but perhaps something you'd recommend as a read in the topic for your audience.
Secondly, if there is any watchers who haven't yet seen it, I recommend the 1970 film Waterloo. Is it about this battle? Fairly obviously not. What it is, however, is a film which can give someone an impression of what a napoleonic battlefield, a clash as large as this, might have looked like, since we tend to not have tens of thousands of participants at reënactments.
No mention of earlier Schevaradino redout?
Good animation, but the number of troops (130,000 French vs 120,000 Russia) is not quite accurate. The French had 136,000, the Russians 115,000. Thus, the French army outnumbered the Russians by 21,000 men.
Great!
Took 11 seconds to make the first mistake. Russia withdrew from the Peace of Tilsit, not “France declared war on Russia”.
Why Barclay didnt moove troops from right flanc to left?
Kutuzov was a genius
"We are the army of people" brought me here again lol
Not as much as suvurov or Napoleon
Кирилл Кумин Thanks for the joke, Kutuzov wasn’t better than Napoleon ... he just follow the strategy choosen by Barclay and did nothing during Borodino that was Barclay and Bagration in majority who hold the french assault, without such a charismatic leader(Bagration) Borodino will be a decisive french victory .
You can’t compare a genius with just a good general.
Кирилл Кумин You can’t base your judgement just like that ... i can easily say who won Kutuzov in Austria ?
Kutovoz was an experienced and cautious commander but he wasn’t a military genius like Napoleon that was a fact .
@Кирилл Кумин Napoleon hardly lost a single battle in Russia and was able to escape much larger Russian armies during the retreat, even at battles like krazny or the berezina Kutuzov, with a much larger army, failed to fully destroy napoleons forces.
Background sound from another Napoleonic game
Very epic
Ah so that’s why they called it Operation Bagration
Who else is here because of War and Peace?
So there was a possibilty that the most successful Soviet operation in WW2 might have been named Operation Barclay.

(9:06) Two weeks?! Moscow was occupied for 36 days. 🙄🙄
Watts???😳
0:09.. Napoleon, actually, entered Russia without declaration of war
@J.D. back then they always declared a war before an invasion, it was a basic diplomacy
@J.D. You are looking on this from the prospection of WW2, probably, where an unexpected attack meant everything. But up until the 20th century any kind of fast blitzkrieg was impossible due to lack of tech and strategies they used.
A war always was like:
1. To declair;
2. To meet each other;
3. Make a battle.
4. Who is retreating - that one is loser.
5. Peace negotiations.
Did you know that any POW-officer that was captured during Napoleon's times was treated like an officer of their own army with THE SAME WAGE? A basic rule back then.
The war of 1812 was the first war where people showed no respect to all these rules. The russians never took any hostages as well as frenches, and never before an army of that age burned a city. In Russia it happened almost after every battle.
By the way, after capturing Moscow Napoleon 3 times send a diplo with peace negotiations to the csar - Alexander gave him no reply. He said: 'if Napoleon did not declare a war - then there is no reason to declare a peace'
Imp Aug Jul Div Max Back then declaring war prior to invading was not always common. The Austrians in the Fifth Coalition attacked Bavaria and France without a formal declaration of war.
Carnage!
