you see he's just like a toddler he sees the world the same way. from all over the area have come to take part in the journey none of them has their own horse they haven't even seen. until now. but still tamed only a short while ago refused even to allow anyone to enter his stable. his head greatest concern is to keep his head out of homes away if you do that means he likes and trusts me. with separation. leading up to the continental journey consisted of nothing but intense training. camps riding tricks and how to shoot. on horseback. if you don't. sit up straight. the chief.

has spent a lifetime teaching men how to handle horses. he's one of the few to teach how to keep steady riding at full speed. as well as how to do spectacular horseback. my wife says to me why on earth do you need all that talk and i explain it to a woman they don't understand it. all men are warriors at heart some more than others some don't have much of it others have quite a lot i think i have a good deal of. the regions of the homeland for the cossacks but true few and far between even here. today cause like villages are becoming deserted with young villages moving to big cities whether or no horses or old ways of life because of. the russian don't horse breed or in need of protection. there are

only about two hundred sixty mares of this breed left in the world they are on the verge of extinction. every kusiak is supposed to be good at handling a whip and a sort. of every cause that carried them. thank the french audience at the final performance and enjoyed the cossacks outstanding ability to juggle with swords today this looks like a circus act but two centuries ago who couldn't pull off such feats were regarded as a failure even cars like women demonstrated outstanding skills. these horsemen from the kremlin riding school it's the world's only school to teach these traditional equestrian skills. after a detailed analysis of his defeat napoleon noted that the cossacks had ensured russia's success he said cossacks were the best like troops of the day and if he'd

had them in his own me he could have marched across the whole world is. that old as you are good morning cossacks greetings. it was pavel marshall cough who came up with the idea of the march from moscow to paris. the businessman and stud farm owner spends all of his earnings on horses his main ambition is to revive the dawn breed. they are beautiful. pavel owns a large stable and past as well he's also building a cosmic settlements for tourists to go horse riding. this lovely little mare is only two years old. need to wait another three years before she can fold her more of a beauty. oh look they've been you all over poor thing. believes

these horses are russia's best asset and something to be proud of. it hurts when people say bad things about cossacks they may call drug lords fools layabouts all sorts there really is sad to report and what's worse some people even write off our most recent victories in world war two my grandfather commanded a division during that war so i know the hardships people went through were. the starting point for the march was most goes up hill in oldest twenty twelve it was here in eighteen twelve on the second of september the napoleon waited in vain to be given the keys to the capital they never came. soon afterwards moscow was plundered and razed to the ground. two years later russian troops led by the chieftain platov approached. napoleon dreaded the backlash he feels the russians

will do to paris the friendship done to moscow. this ground one hundred twenty kilometers from moscow is almost as familiar to the french as it is to the russians the battlefield of. the cossacks raced across the field where some one hundred thousand people died in a single day over forty thousand russians and nearly sixty thousand frenchmen. this is was an attack by the men of celebrated russian chieftain plus might have looked like. the russians launched an assault to gain the breathing space they needed to bring up there was. men one to alice to regroup overwhelming the french on the left flank. the cossacks ahead and.

he. has fifty. he fails to achieve superiority even the french. was victorious. there were all sorts of. divides the coast into two sections. of the russian offensive from two

hundred years ago. the legend of a hasty french retreat has been passed down here from generation to generation. still time to fill in the french turn tail they hid napoleon's golden carriage to look for it as you can see we too are trying to find it's ours we call it the belorussian treasure belongs to the. locals have left no stone unturned in search of the prize even in swamps and peak bogs alas they have never found the golden carriage. in the local villages only a few elderly residents remain. i don't think more than a dozen young people live here. pensions only income twice a week they come to the bus stop to wait for a shop trailer this time the mobile shop is late and instead of the residents are greeted by cossacks approaching on the horizon. we sort of welcome the call with bunches of flowers look such handsome horse. hello there.

comes close on the heels of the cossacks the old people form a queue to buy the basic necessities of life. support the order to secure the stopping here on their journey to paris will be the topic of many conversations for a long time to come nothing so exciting has ever happened. such a long way to paris it might be difficult to travel on horseback there. on the fifteenth day of the journey the cossacks have made it to poland in two weeks they've covered the same distance as russian troops did during this two month

long pursuit of the podium. in december eight hundred twelve napoleon into russia with a fifty thousand strong elite but he left with only fifteen hundred. frostbitten troops. was now a foregone conclusion. that's. because more than a cossack he's also a historian and writer his latest book will tell the story of this journey is keeping a diary. is a once in a lifetime chance couldn't turn it down. you know the love. of your dog. will be enough the french won nearly every battle but as the russian army increased in number it was quite apparent that the french would windley by the time napoleon was retreating to poland he's only had almost run out of artillery

provisions and even forces. buzz off it's mine you've got yours finish it you i like vassileva rennick i like saying of a sense of does not hail from the dawn area even though he's from bloody mia he still has cause like blood in his veins. aside from being a music teacher he also leads a cossack troop in his village and teaches writing skills to local children. his name is when he was an unruly stallion he wouldn't let anybody into his stable but now he is quite gentle such horses except only tender treatment the horse of the dawn breed is his master's horse once you've established a bond with him he'll be devoted to you for as long as he lives he'll fight for you .

likes it germany is just as legendary in europe as but i do know is in russia. oh historians describe a battle of nations austrian prussian and swedish troops joining the russians in their fight against napoleon. around a hundred thousand died in the battle which forced napoleon to flee back to france with what remained of his army. recover some forty kilometers a day early in retreat it is about the same pace again even momentum with time. was simply lagging behind only plots of his men had skirmishes in the pearl ians regard. although the forests here look much as they do back home the cossacks already feel homesick they've covered more than two thousand kilometers in over

a month. for the first week of this journey is making me homesick. i miss my kids my wife my parents. thanks to a light at a. holiday eclipse. oh. please . please. please. liz. liz. liz

almost three thousand kilometers away from. these riders who followed the route that the russians took as they drove napoleon out of russia and then pursued him across the whole of europe. the emperor's pointing at us rio the hero's. attention. two hundred years later russian cossacks lay flowers at the monument to the great napoleon bonaparte. before his invasion of russia napoleon had made the cossacks out to be monsters to scamper resumes propaganda of the day painted them as bearded giants raping and even eating people he went so far as to claim that a peruvian woman with her little daughter had full on her knees before a plot of the chieftain begging him not to eat.

two hundred years ago russian cause could hardly imagine the warm welcome that greets the male. in eight hundred twelve it was immediately evident that the cossacks behave decently despite their tough and uncouth reputation xander the first was noble in victory he clamped down on my role does and rapists even released prisoners of war. today frenchmen march side by side. vessel is counterpart is nicola a french businessman he's been active. is diplomatic in his assessment of the. you're going to see anyone who finds themselves a team two cultures has to be. both sides of their goals the french wanted to reach

moscow when they did the russians wanted to hold the french advance and prevent their army being the two succeeded in their view that it. had never occurred. in eight hundred fourteen the russians occupied paris and. to learn his fate. the cossacks were very disciplined. behaved very decently in france. instance was even hanged for robbing a peasant woman of. it was. neither he nor his descendants would occupy the throne again he had given up his intention to fight until victory and never.

quite historically accurate. into the grounds. here in the fair there's a grand staircase and it was him. and his ambitions to create a greater france he travelled into exile under russian. returns to france just a hundred years later when many emigrated seeking refuge from the revolution. this woman says her grandfather came to france with a white army. and this child in the picture is her father it was taken in one thousand eight hundred of his name. which was like it's great to meet such people so far away from your homeland you.

the day after the occupation of the cossacks head to the famous russian cemetery at century genevieve. loic and their off their horses on the bare from a horseback procession yes i heard about them they were fine bunch they're here to celebrate the battle of. many famous russian immigrants are buried here they include literary nobel prize winner. and the celebrated ballet dancer rudolf. this commemorates the cossacks and army officers who left russia after the nine hundred seventeen revolution. the. to. be. close to one million russians fled to france though many lived

to ripe old ages their thoughts remained with their last homeland. there was still a depressing thought is that true russians are buried here at the russia that came after them was not their russia. or their russia is gone forever because the stone the awfulness of. when russia is white came to france the country was still in ruins reeling from the devastation wrought by world war one in which over a million frenchmen died. i read a story in the next patrick magazine about a migrant talking about a year he said the cost would make the rounds of local farms he was employed as a farm hand that was just a cover. like saying that his real job was reviving the local population. probably. with a journey beaching it seems to take

a sightseeing tour of paris as it turns out the traditional habits of population revival is still very much alive. and attention yeah this is the so-called sex quarter. skeff ase and sex shops everywhere and this is the famous. hey guys let's get off here. two hundred years ago when the russians took paris not a single painting went missing from the roof though it's true that some cause x. tore up the floors from french homes to burn and can find us. they also caught all the famous culp in the fontainebleau columns. led by alexander decided to march along one must in dress uniform. no gold my eyes. the eight hundred twelve had little time to eat and often use the russian word to

be used to tell the famous my mother café to be quick. a corrupt version of the word subsequently took linked in french culture as the archetype will be stroke afaik. there's a feeling inside me of deja vu. a sense that i've been here before. maybe it's genetic memory or something. waiting for a lunch of oysters and the anxious about the unfamiliar dishes making. even more homesick. but let's go home as soon as i can when i get back all the russian food just potatoes without all these fancy vegetables or detroit he always states but this cuisine isn't for me. it was the high point of the parisien two of the heavily built when the first came to the city because i've only seen it on t. the before and now here i am in paris it's fantastic

a dream come true here. and right next to the eiffel tower the cossacks met a few russian speaking french money one point five three for example. because x. adopted many french practices off their return to russia in eight hundred fourteen women spill two point fifteen blouses to triumph were built in the coastal town of no bitch a cask that still shaped streets were laid out in the paris model one of the how it's was even clear powers. yes i. think the. cossacks will be cossacks on the eiffel tower people anywhere else once cossacks start to sing as just no stopping the. guy that. earth oh my

gosh i fell over your head i got that us think that you're out of luck i think that you have to buy out. the journey has come to an end alexei never said seth brings his horse for the last time before setting off home. let me hand your leg what you think needs a brush you easy now bubble that good boy. the noble beasts will with holes boxes. will travel with those by coach he's in high spirits because he won't be homesick for much longer but his joy is monitored by the prospect of posing with his beloved holes in his arms will still i'm so attached to him i can't bear the thought that'll have to eventually part with him he's very tender and and beady. i call him my little lamb sometimes.

he'll be missing me too i don't know whether he'll be able to get used to a new master. and finally because next performer their horses for their very last time before going to. displace the bloody conflict the napoleonic wars brought france and russia closer together the soviet union had a special relationship of france despite being a member of nato the. today hundreds of thousands of cars that descendents still live in france and many frenchmen stayed on russia. for the cossacks bid farewell to fontainebleau but they will return for another friendly invasion.
