On September 7, 1812, the Battle of Borodino took place. The Russian army under the command of Mikhail Kutuzov opposed the French troops that invaded Russia, led by the Emperor of France, Napoleon Bonaparte. The battle of Borodino became one of the most bloody for its time - about 100 thousand people died in it on both sides. There is no consensus among historians as to whose army won the victory on the Borodino field, but there is no doubt that the battle was a turning point in the Patriotic War of 1812. The French army suffered losses that put it in a critical position, while the Russian retained the potential for further build-up.
