his horse is called. boy come over here for a ride down. just like a member of the family they often joke at the horses are even more dead and their wives and children. need to talk to him all the time 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. even to allow anyone to enter his stable. see me how his head greatest concern is to keep his head out of harm's way if he lets me do that means he likes and trusts me. with separation. leading up to the continental journey consisted of nothing but intense

training. used to stay in summer camps riding tricks and how to shoot. on horseback. if you don't. sit up straight. the chief. has spent a lifetime teaching me how to handle horses. he's one of the few to teach how to keep steady in the saddle riding at full speed and. 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 but i think i have a good deal of. the regions of the homeland for the cossacks but 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 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 members 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 sort. of every cause that carried them. thank the french audience at the final performance in fontainebleau and joined 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 have ensured russia's success he said contacts with 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. good morning cossacks greetings. it was pavel marshall acuff 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 cossack settlements for tourists to go horse riding. because of course this

lovely little mare is only two years old but richard has to wait another three years before she can full of 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. was. the starting point for the march was most killed in oldest twenty twelve it was here in eight hundred twelve on the second of september the napoleon waited in vain to be given the keys to the capital they never.

plundered and razed to the ground. two years later russian troops led by the chieftain cloth of approached. napoleon dreaded the backlash he feels the russians will do to paris the friendship done to moscow. the. 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 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. the french are confident that. russia was victorious. there were all sorts of situation the end of the day. took place in the twentieth century.

divides the car into two sections. 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 trying to fill in 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 it 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. 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. of welcome with bunches of flowers . 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. just. 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 they've covered the same distance as russian troops did during this two month long pursuit of napoleon. in december eight hundred twelve napoleon into the russia with a fifty thousand strong elite but he left with only fifteen hundred. frostbitten troops. was no 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. there's a once in a lifetime chance i couldn't turn it down. you know the love. you

know your dog. 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 his own had almost run out of artillery provisions and even forces. buzz off it's mine you've got yours finish it. i'm like vassileva rennick alexei never sets 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 caustic troupe 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 . 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. 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 napoleon's 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.

chieftain begging him not to eat it. two hundred years ago russian could hardly imagine. that creates them now. in eight hundred twelve it was immediately evident that the cossacks behave decently despite their tough and uncouth reputation. the first was noble in victory . and rapists even released prisoners of. today. march side by side. a french businessman he's been active in russia. is diplomatic in his assessment of the. you're going to see anyone who finds themselves a tween 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. they too succeeded because. it never occurred. that one day he might see the palaces where. to reside. in eight hundred fourteen the russians occupied paris. where he was waiting to learn his fate. the cossacks were very disciplined. behaved very decently in front. instance unable to camp was even hanged for robbing a peasant woman of a chicken. it was here that napoleon signs a document of abdication neither he nor his descendants would occupy the throne again he had given up his intention to fight on until victory and the cossacks

never had to storm fontainebleau. though not quite historically accurate. into the grounds. here in the farewell courtyard there's a grand staircase and it was here that napoleon bade farewell to his guards. and his ambitions to create a greater france he travelled into exile under russian escort. you have. this image on the memories of russia returns to france just a hundred years later when many emigrated seeking refuge from the bolshevik revolution. and i did 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 nine hundred his name was nicholai were to bring up that 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 . lowick and they're off their horses in the they're from a horseback perception yes i heard about them they're 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 nuria . this commemorates the cossacks and army officers who left russia after the nine hundred seventeen revolution. 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 will still be a depressing thought is that true russians are buried here at the russia that came after them was not their russia or at all. 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 magazine about a migrant talking about a year he said because i would make the rounds of local farms he was employed as a farm hand that was just a cover. he liked saying that his real job was reviving the local population.

probable. with a journey beaching 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. 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 on camp fun us. they also cortical a famous cup in the fontainebleau columns. led by alexander and decided to march along one mux in dress uniform. gold my eyes.

the eight hundred twelve had little time to eat and often use the russian word a beast to tell the famous mother cafe to be quick. a corrupt version of the word subsequently took linked in french culture as the archetype will be stroke cafe. 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 and when i get back i'll be brushing through just potatoes without all these fancy vegetables or did like the worst is this cuisine isn't for me. is the high point of the parisien two of the heavily built when their predecessors first came to the city. i've only seen it on t. even 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 months one point five or ten. because sex adopted many french practices off their return to russia in eight hundred fourteen women spoke to tight fitting blouses to triumph were built in the coastal town of no bitch a cask that stole shaped streets were laid out in the paris model one of the how it's was even called powers. yes i. think the. concepts will be called sex on the eiffel tower people anywhere else once kosek start to sing as just no stopping them. go. further oh my
