In Lecture 104 from the "History of Russia" series, historian Boris Kipnis examines in detail the reasons for the Russian Army's foreign campaign of 1813-1814, and also discusses the differences in opinion between M.I.

We also learn about the differences and characteristics of the Russian and French armies that participated in the events of 1813-1814, the awakening of national consciousness in Germany, and Emperor Napoleon at the turn of 1812-1813.
