horses weapons and but with typical of the day. russian cossacks are here again marching towards paris. really but it comes from a family of cossacks and he's learned to sing the old version of the. when his horse became lingering the journey vassily had to trail behind the procession he still believes the question of who won the battle is relevant. but you would say the battle ended in a draw but it was an honorable droll there's no doubt the french emerged victorious they did over ride the battlefield and whoever sees the battlefield was the victor but even if it was a victory it was a costly one. to ensure that good morning well over. at least for.

the excitement and grandeur of paris has still a long way in the future for the cause like so just beginning to get ready for the journey. and it all started here exactly one year ago. hats on. bacilli is making ready to ride his horse is called. good boy come over here for a ride. a horse is just like a member of the family they often joke at the horses are even more dead than 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 refused even to allow anyone to enter his stable.

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. to the continental journey consisted of nothing but intense training. camps to learn riding tricks and how to shoot. on horseback. if you don't. sit up straight. the chief of the. spent a lifetime teaching men 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 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. regions of the homeland for the cossacks but true a few and far between even here. today cause like villages are becoming deserted with young villages moving to big cities whether in no horses or old ways of life because of both course socks in the russian dawn horse breed or in need of protection i would bet there are only about two hundred sixty mares of this breed left in the world they are on the verge of extinction. every cause that is supposed to be good at handling a whip and assault. in the old days 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 cossack women demonstrated outstanding skills. these horsemen from the kremlin riding school it's the 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 cossacks were the best like troops of the day and if he'd had them in his army he could have marched across the whole world. good morning cossacks gratings. 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 a beautiful. pavel owns a large stable in passages where he's also building a cosmic settlements for tourists to go horse riding. this because of course this lovely little mare is only two years old but it sure does need to wait another three years before she can fall on a career more of a go won't you my beauty. oh look they've been you all over poor thing thirty three democrats. 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 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. was. the starting point 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 was plundered and razed to the ground. two years later russian troops led by the chieftain cloth of approached. napoleon dreaded the backlash the field the russians would do to paris the french were done to moscow. feet. 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. headquarters. to defend. his fifty battles he fails to achieve clear superiority even the french are

confident that. russia was victorious. how you look at it there were all sorts of situations at the end of the day. took place in the twentieth century. divides the car 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. officialdom to forward the french turn tail. 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 peat bogs 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. 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

a few. 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 to see which 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. 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 i couldn't turn it down. you know the love. you know 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 win doing 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'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 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 . likes it germany is just as legendary in europe as but i do know is in russia. was the story which described the 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 poland'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.

russians. and then pursued him across the whole of europe. pointing at us rio the heroes. two hundred years later russian cossacks lay flowers at the monument to the great napoleon bonaparte. the foreigners invasion of russia napoleon had made the call sites out to be monsters to scamper. propaganda of the day painted them as bearded giants raping even eating people he went so far as to claim that a peruvian woman with her little daughter had full on her knees before the chieftain begging him not to eat. two hundred years ago russian could hardly imagine. that greeks 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 area for twelve years. 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 each of their goals the french wanted to reach moscow when they did the russians wanted to hold the french advance and prevent their army. they too succeeded. at it.

it never occurred to me that one day he might see the palaces where. to reside. in eight hundred fourteen the russians occupied paris and completely blocked napoleon where he was waiting to learn his fate. the cossacks were very disciplined . behaved very decently in france. since the camp was even hanged for robbing a peasant woman of. 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. quite historically accurate. into the grounds. here in the fair there's

a grand staircase and it was here the farewell to his guards. and his ambitions to create a greater france he travelled into exile under russian escort. you off. to smoke on the memories of russia 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 it 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. the day after. the head to the famous russian cemetery.

and they're off their horses they're from a horseback perception 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. 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.

the depressing thought is that true russians are buried here. that came after them was not there russia or to war with 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 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. with. take a sightseeing tour of paris as it turns out the traditional habits of population

revival are still very much alive. this is the so-called sex water. and. sex shops everywhere. 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 acts tore up the floors from french homes to find us. they also cortical a famous cup in the fontainebleau columns. led by. them decided to march along in dress uniform. gold my eyes for. the eight hundred twelve thanks had little time to meet and often use the russian word to be used to tell the famous my mother kathy to be quick. a corrupt version of the word subsequently took root in french culture as the. distro cafe.

there's a feeling inside me of days. ago to sense that i've been here before. maybe it's genetic memory or something. but. waiting for a lunch of oysters and the anxious about the unfamiliar dishes making. even more homesick. i'd like to go home as soon as i can when i get back all the russian food just potatoes without all these fancy vegetables or did like me always to is but this cuisine isn't for me. it was the high point of the. pedaling built when they first came to the city. i've only seen it on t.v. before and now here i am in paris it's fantastic a dream come true. and right next to the eiffel tower. a few russian

speaking french month one called five. because sox adopted many french practices off the return to russia in eight hundred fourteen women spoke to twenty fifth in blouses to try and follow his will build him a cossack town of no bitch a cask stall shaped streets were laid out in the paris model one of the how minutes was even the powers. yes. the. cossacks will be cossacks on the eiffel tower all anywhere else once kosek start to sing as just no stopping the. earth itself close. enough now that the other things that you know oh

a new master. and finally the cossacks perform with their horses for the very last time before going to. displace the bloody conflicts the napoleonic walls brought france and russia closer together the soviet union had a special relationship of trust despite being a model native of. today's 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. of the.
