The Patriotic War of 1812 is considered a model of heroism for all citizens of the Russian Empire, from the high command to the peasant partisans. But these events also have a dark, lesser-known side: the intrigues that reigned within the General Staff, which hindered the effective management of the army, and a diplomatic scandal involving the activities of a Russian intelligence officer who served at the French court and created a vast network of agents within the government. A key factor in Russia's victory was the fact that, while leading the "Russian campaign," Napoleon was also waging war on the Iberian Peninsula, where he first encountered fierce resistance from the local population.
Why can't the Battle of Borodino be considered a victory for Russian arms? Whom did "General Frost" spare—the Russians or the French? Why did Kutuzov hate Admiral Chichagov? Read about all these facts in our new publication, dedicated to the greatest trial Russia faced in the 19th century.
