NAPOLEON
MOSCOW
,
OCTOBER
30
,
1812
Kutúzov
replied
:
"
I
should
be
cursed
by
posterity
were
I
looked
on
as
the
initiator
of
a
settlement
of
any
sort
.
Such
is
the
present
spirit
of
my
nation
.
"
But
he
continued
to
exert
all
his
powers
to
restrain
his
troops
from
attacking
.
During
the
month
that
the
French
troops
were
pillaging
in
Moscow
and
the
Russian
troops
were
quietly
encamped
at
Tarútino
,
a
change
had
taken
place
in
the
relative
strength
of
the
two
armies
--
both
in
spirit
and
in
number
--
as
a
result
of
which
the
superiority
had
passed
to
the
Russian
side
.
Though
the
condition
and
numbers
of
the
French
army
were
unknown
to
the
Russians
,
as
soon
as
that
change
occurred
the
need
of
attacking
at
once
showed
itself
by
countless
signs
.
These
signs
were
:
Lauriston
's
mission
;
the
abundance
of
provisions
at
Tarútino
;
the
reports
coming
in
from
all
sides
of
the
inactivity
and
disorder
of
the
French
;
the
flow
of
recruits
to
our
regiments
;
the
fine
weather
;
the
long
rest
the
Russian
soldiers
had
enjoyed
,
and
the
impatience
to
do
what
they
had
been
assembled
for
,
which
usually
shows
itself
in
an
army
that
has
been
resting
;
curiosity
as
to
what
the
French
army
,
so
long
lost
sight
of
,
was
doing
;
the
boldness
with
which
our
outposts
now
scouted
close
up
to
the
French
stationed
at
Tarútino
;
the
news
of
easy
successes
gained
by
peasants
and
guerrilla
troops
over
the
French
,
the
envy
aroused
by
this
;
the
desire
for
revenge
that
lay
in
the
heart
of
every
Russian
as
long
as
the
French
were
in
Moscow
,
and
(
above
all
)
a
dim
consciousness
in
every
soldier
's
mind
that
the
relative
strength
of
the
armies
had
changed
and
that
the
advantage
was
now
on
our
side
.
There
was
a
substantial
change
in
the
relative
strength
,
and
an
advance
had
become
inevitable
And
at
once
,
as
a
clock
begins
to
strike
and
chime
as
soon
as
the
minute
hand
has
completed
a
full
circle
,
this
change
was
shown
by
an
increased
activity
,
whirring
,
and
chiming
in
the
higher
spheres
.
The
Russian
army
was
commanded
by
Kutúzov
and
his
staff
,
and
also
by
the
Emperor
from
Petersburg
.
Before
the
news
of
the
abandonment
of
Moscow
had
been
received
in
Petersburg
,
a
detailed
plan
of
the
whole
campaign
had
been
drawn
up
and
sent
to
Kutúzov
for
his
guidance
.
Though
this
plan
had
been
drawn
up
on
the
supposition
that
Moscow
was
still
in
our
hands
,
it
was
approved
by
the
staff
and
accepted
as
a
basis
for
action
.
Kutúzov
only
replied
that
movements
arranged
from
a
distance
were
always
difficult
to
execute
.
So
fresh
instructions
were
sent
for
the
solution
of
difficulties
that
might
be
encountered
,
as
well
as
fresh
people
who
were
to
watch
Kutúzov
's
actions
and
report
upon
them
.
Besides
this
,
the
whole
staff
of
the
Russian
army
was
now
reorganized
.
The
posts
left
vacant
by
Bagratión
,
who
had
been
killed
,
and
by
Barclay
,
who
had
gone
away
in
dudgeon
,
had
to
be
filled
.
Very
serious
consideration
was
given
to
the
question
whether
it
would
be
better
to
put
A
in
B
's
place
and
B
in
D
's
,
or
on
the
contrary
to
put
D
in
A
's
place
,
and
so
on
--
as
if
anything
more
than
A
's
or
B
's
satisfaction
depended
on
this
.
As
a
result
of
the
hostility
between
Kutúzov
and
Bennigsen
,
his
Chief
of
Staff
,
the
presence
of
confidential
representatives
of
the
Emperor
,
and
these
transfers
,
a
more
than
usually
complicated
play
of
parties
was
going
on
among
the
staff
of
the
army
.
A
was
undermining
B
,
D
was
undermining
C
,
and
so
on
in
all
possible
combinations
and
permutations
.
In
all
these
plottings
the
subject
of
intrigue
was
generally
the
conduct
of
the
war
,
which
all
these
men
believed
they
were
directing
;
but
this
affair
of
the
war
went
on
independently
of
them
,
as
it
had
to
go
:
that
is
,
never
in
the
way
people
devised
,
but
flowing
always
from
the
essential
attitude
of
the
masses
.
Only
in
the
highest
spheres
did
all
these
schemes
,
crossings
,
and
interminglings
appear
to
be
a
true
reflection
of
what
had
to
happen
.
Prince
Michael
Ilariónovich
!
(
wrote
the
Emperor
on
the
second
of
October
in
a
letter
that
reached
Kutúzov
after
the
battle
at
Tarútino
)
Since
September
2
Moscow
has
been
in
the
hands
of
the
enemy
.
Your
last
reports
were
written
on
the
twentieth
,
and
during
all
this
time
not
only
has
no
action
been
taken
against
the
enemy
or
for
the
relief
of
the
ancient
capital
,
but
according
to
your
last
report
you
have
even
retreated
farther
.
Sérpukhov
is
already
occupied
by
an
enemy
detachment
and
Túla
with
its
famous
arsenal
,
so
indispensable
to
the
army
,
is
in
danger
.
From
General
Wintzingerode
's
reports
,
I
see
that
an
enemy
corps
of
ten
thousand
men
is
moving
on
the
Petersburg
road
.
Another
corps
of
several
thousand
men
is
moving
on
Dmítrov
.
A
third
has
advanced
along
the
Vladímir
road
,
and
a
fourth
,
rather
considerable
detachment
is
stationed
between
Rúza
and
Mozháysk
.
Napoleon
himself
was
in
Moscow
as
late
as
the
twenty-fifth
.
