Two hundred years ago two great armies clushed. No one wanted to yield. No one did. Although the battle result was inconclusive it brought both the armies to the very limit of human abilities.

Let us honor those braves who fought on both sides on this day.

Last Sunday a massive reenactment took place on the Field. Quite a few photos from the event may be found here:

Enjoy!

Yes, very nice, Anton! Thank you for sharing that with us. Unfortunately, that is probably as close as I will ever get to the battlefield. Never say never, but I am sure the odds are against me. :( :( :(

A toast to all who struggled upon the fields that day so many years ago now!!! :P :P :P

Anton, thanks for sharing these amazing photos. They brought back many wonderful memories of my 1991 visit to the Borodino battle field. Take care.
