Приложение № 2

It happened in 1812.  Russia was in great danger. Napoleon wanted to conquer Russia as practically all of Europe depended on him. Russia did not. Napoleon was sure he could easily win the war against Russia.                                                                                                              

At the beginning of the war, the Russian army was moving back. Napoleon’s army was stronger and there were more soldiers in it.

Napoleon was moving to Smolensk- the “key city” of Russia because it locked the road to Moscow.                                                                                                                            

In August 1812, the two armies had a terrible battle in Smolensk. The Russian army left Smolensk in ruins. The people of Smolensk left the city along with the Russian army.                                                                                                                              

Napoleon’s army came into the empty city of Smolensk and began to move to Moscow.                                                  

Russia was in danger as never before. That’s why the Russian tsar, Alexander I invited the famous Russian general Michael Kutuzov to become the head of the Russian army.                                                                                                              Kutuzov decided to give a fight to Napoleon. He chose the field near the settlement of Borodino for the battle. On the 7^th of September 1812 the famous battle began. The Russian soldiers were ready to die but not to move back. They fought for the independence of their country. The famous battle of Borodino was the beginning of Great Victory over Napoleon in the war of 1812.
