Today is the anniversary of dozens of European languages invading Russia in 1812. It was the largest army (how novel for Russians, not) in history at that time to invade Russia. Napoleon assembled all of Europe for that. Well, French excluded most of the battles from their so called "history" books (you know, frost, all those nasty Russians and Cossacks et al interfered with otherwise "brilliant" Napoleon), but reality is--it was a calamity of unimaginable scale (how traditional, eh). And it was at Borodino that Russians exorcised European spirit for pillage, theft and robbery for almost a century.
