one of the few to teach how to keep steady riding at full speed and. as well as how to do spectacular horseback stunts. 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 but i think i have a good deal of. the regions of the homeland for the cossacks the true cause a few and far between even here. today villages are becoming deserted with young villages moving to big cities whether or no horses 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 cause is supposed to be good at handling

a whip and a sword. every cause that carried them. thank the french audience at the final performance in fontainebleau enjoyed the cossacks outstanding ability to juggle with swords today this looks like a circus act but two centuries ago cossacks who couldn't pull off such feats were regarded as a failure even cossack 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 that ensured russia success he said contacts with the best like troops of the day and if he'd had them in his army he could have marched across the whole world is.

that old as you are good morning cossacks gratings. it was pavel marshall corfu 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 cossack settlements for tourists to go horse riding. this lovely little mare is only two years old she 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 holes these are russia's best asset and something to be proud of. it hurts when people say bad things about cossacks they may call drunkards fools layabouts

all sorts there really is sad 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. this doesn't buy for the much was must kill you notice 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 ending. soon afterwards moscow was plundered and razed to the ground. two years later russian troops led by the chieftain plus approached. napoleon dreaded the backlash he feels the russians will do to paris the french will down 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 what an attack by the men of celebrated russian chieftain plus just 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 by overwhelming the french on the left flank. the cossacks ahead and. of russian. to defend.

his fifty s. he fails to achieve superiority. the french are confident that. russia was victorious. how you look at it there were all sorts of situations but at the end of the day. divides the platoon into two sections. to repeat the maneuvers 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 come forward the french turn tail they hid napoleon's golden carriage people still look for it as you can see we two are trying to find us 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 people 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 should have welcomed the cossack's with bunches of flowers look such handsome horses. hello there.

comes close on the heels of the cossacks the old people form a queue to buy the basic necessities of life but it's the pork you ordered if you're. 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 here. 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 that covered the same distance as russian troops did during this two month long pursuit of the podiums. in december eight hundred twelve napoleon into the russia with

a fifty thousand strong elite but he left with only fifteen hundred starving demoralized and frostbitten troops. was now a foregone conclusion. is 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 i couldn't turn it down. you know the love. you know you don't. know. the french won nearly every battle but as the russian army increased in number it was quite apparent that the french would win thing 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 alexei never sets of does not hail from the dawn area even though he's from bloody mia he still has cars like blood in his veins. aside from being a music teacher he also leads a cossack troop in his village and teaches caustic 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 . like sid germany's just as legendary in europe as but i do know is in russia.

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. we cover 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 polian 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. this journey is making me homesick. i miss my kids my wife my parents. yes.

well. offers an air show and an easy was a matter you. much of the residents never profited from the performances you'll see of coming our signature there when you

more news today volunteers once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations to rule the day. fronts is the final leg of the journey the last stop for a final push towards napoleon's residence at fontainebleau. they've already covered almost three thousand kilometers all the way from moscow all these riders have followed the route that the russians took as they drove napoleon out of russia and then pursued him across the whole of europe. the emperors pointing at us rio the heroes. ensured.

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 call sites out to be monsters to scare parisians propaganda of the day painted them as bearded giants raping robbing him 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 it. two hundred years ago russian cosmonauts could hardly imagine the warm welcome that creeps them now. 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

as and rapists even released prisoners of war. today cossacks and french men march side by side. counter parties nicola a french businessman is. even russia. 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 halt the french advance and prevent their army being lead to succeed in the euro that it. used to reside. in eight hundred fourteen the russians occupied paris and

completely. was waiting to learn his fate. the cossacks were very disciplined. behaved very decently in france. and they was even hanged for robbing a peasant woman of. it was. neither he nor his descendants. he had given up his intention to fight until victory and never. quite historically. into the grounds. 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 bolshevik revolution. this woman says her grandfather came to france with a white army. and this child in the picture is her father was taken in one thousand eight hundred his name was nikolai 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 precession 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.

commemorates the cossacks and army officers who left russia after the nine hundred seventeen revolution. the. would. 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.

when russia's 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 pantry a 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 of one summer with probable. with the journey reaching its aims to take a sightseeing tour of paris as it turns out the traditional habits of population revival still very much alive. and attention yeah this is the so-called sex water there are six cafes and sex shops everywhere. famous.
