 Borodino 

Tell me, uncle, why 
Was Moscow horribly 
Burnt  to the ground 
To rid the French from the town? 
What of that terrible fight, 
Yes, tell me of that! 
It's not for nothing 
All Russia, remembers Borodino! 

Yes, these were people of our time, 
Much  along the modern lines 
Heroes -- Not You! 
Terrible the toll 
Few returned to tell 
T'was God Himself replied: 
"Moscow shall be purified!"

IV. Working with the texts

T.- Now read  the text about Kutuzov and Napoleon please. Then answer the questions. (slides 4-7)

Mikhail Kutuzov

         Born in Saint Petersburg on 16 September 1745. His father had served for thirty years with the Corps of Engineers, seeing action against the Turks and served under Peter the Great. His mother was from a noble family. Due to his background, Mikhail Kutuzov had contact with the Imperial Romanov family from an early age.

         In 1757, twelve-year-old Kutuzov entered a military engineering school as a cadet private. He was popular with his peers and teachers, proving himself  to be highly intelligent, and showed bravery in his school’s horse races. He became fluent in English, French, German, Polish, Swedish, and Turkish which helped during his career.

         In 1762, Kutuzov was a captain under the command of Colonel Alexander Suvorov. From Suvorov he learned how to be a good commander in battle. He learned that an effective order should be simple, direct and concise, and that a good commander should care deeply about the health and training of his men. He also adopted Suvorov's belief that a commander should lead his troops from the front to inspire his troops. Kutuzov also learned the importance of developing close relationships with those under his command. Following these principles benefited his career and contributed to his appointment as Commander-in-Chief in 1812.

           Kutuzov died on 28th April 1813 at Bunzlau.

Napoleon Bonaparte

           Bonaparte, a French military and political leader, rose to prominence during the latter stages of the French Revolution. He was born at Ajaccio in Corsica to parents of noble Genoese ancestry, and trained as an artillery officer in mainland France. He is best remembered for the wars led against France by a series of coalitions, these are known as The Napoleonic Wars. Through his leadership the French army was able to dominate most of Europe and Napoleon tried to spread the ideals of the French Revolution. Being successful he restored the Imperial monarchy in France.

        Due to his success in these wars, often against numerically superior enemies, he is generally regarded as one of the greatest military commanders of all time; his campaigns are studied at military academies throughout much of the world. However, The Peninsular War and the 1812 Invasion of Russia marked turning points in Napoleon's fortunes. His Grand Army was badly defeated in these campaigns and never fully recovered.

        In 1814, the Coalition invaded France, forcing Napoleon to abdicate and exiled him to the Isle of  Elba. Less than a year later, he escaped and returned to power but was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815. He spent the last six years of his life in as a British prisoner on the island of Saint Helena.
