Comment
210 years of victory in the Battle of Borodino is one of the most important dates in the history of Russia. The soldiers, led by the most talented Field Marshal Kutuzov, resisted the French army so much that Napoleon's troops had to retreat.Kutuzov's outstanding talent and the heroism of Russian soldiers predetermined the outcome of the battle. The Russians have won!
