The greatest battle in the war of 1812 when Napoleon invaded Russia took place near the village of Borodino Sept. 7th 1812 and resulted in defeat for the French and still classed as a very great victory by the Russian people. Napoleon was thrown back and out of Russia comletely.
AnswerThis was a battle of attrition as intended by Kutosov. The French had about 33,000 casualties as opposed to about 44,000 Russian casualties. France's population was large by the standards of the time hence Napoleon's willingness to accept large losses in battle but France went head to head against Russia whose population was much larger and which was also prepared to accept heavy battle casualties. The result was a blood bath with the French getting the worst of the bargain in a relative sense. From that day Kutosov was convinced that he could bleed the Emperor's army to death during the inevitable later retreat from Moscow and he did.
It may be interesting to note that the great 1812 Overture by Pyotr IIyich Tchaikovsky was commisioned to commemorate the Russian defence of Moscow. Famous for its climatic volley of cannon fire and ringing chimes, depicted as a celebration of church bells which pealed across Russia at their deliverance.
