šŸ’„Napoleon's campaign against Russia ended in a complete disaster and the loss of the entire Great Army. And this outcome was largely made possible thanks to the fortitude and courage of Russian soldiers in the Battle of Borodino.šŸ’„

It was fought between Napoleon’s 130,000 troops, with more than 500 guns, and 120,000 Russians with more than 600 guns.

The casualties and loss of life at the Battle of Borodino were staggering: 20,000 wounded, 10,000 dead on the French side, whilst on the Russian side there were 35,000 wounded and 15,000 dead.
