By the way, the reconstruction of the Battle of Borodino held 2 times a year: in late May and early September.May reconstruction - a children's holiday.The September bigger - dedicated to the anniversary of the Battle of Borodino.
This year's reconstruction, which took place on September 2, was dedicated to the event: 200 years of the Battle of Borodino.Unlike previous reconstructions, this year the organizers have not regretted pyrotechnics.The show was really masterpiece.Visitors coming to this celebration, a unique chance to make beautiful pictures of military costume show.
Reconstruction predshestovovala official part at the command post in the village of Napoleon Shevardino with representatives of the Government of Russia and France.Former French President Giscard d'Estaing and the Ambassador of France, accompanied by Minister of Culture bypassed operation troops march by the Consular Guard.
Excitement around the event "200 years of the Battle of Borodino" was simply unusual: in spite of the heavy rain and the cold, the field around the redoubt Ranevskaya was fully scored a huge crowd of tens of thousands of people.Many people stayed on the field for 2-3 hours before the event in order to take a seat in the front row.
Despite the fact that the beginning of the reconstruction was postponed for an hour (it was planned to start at four o'clock in the afternoon, and started at the beginning of the sixth), the people did not leave, and on the contrary remained.Even after the outbreak of hostilities, a huge crowd of people of all pulled and pulled to the site of reconstruction.
interesting that no less excitement and enjoyed the day before - 1 September 2012, when the dress rehearsal of the Battle of Borodino, dedicated to the events of September 7 near the village of Borodino.At Borodino day dress rehearsal was no less people than on the day of the official event.However, the presence at the dress rehearsal of the battle of Borodino on September 1 more luck with the weather - it was sunny and warm.Even on television the next day after the reconstruction showed footage of a dress rehearsal, not a formal reconstruction.
It is nice to think that after such a long period people will not forget and remember the events of those long years that have become so important in the history of Russia.I hope that the patriotism of our people will continue to grow.
For those who could not attend this event, once again mention that the reconstruction of the Battle of Borodino held annually twice a year, in late May and early September.Come, and you will have the chance to re-immerse themselves in the story.
Sincerely, professional photographer Leonid Starikov.
