Excerpt describing Peterson, Michael Gordon

Only when Bennigsen entered the hut did Kutuzov move out of his corner and move towards the table, but so much so that his face was not illuminated by the candles placed on the table.
Bennigsen opened the council with the question: “Should we leave the sacred and ancient capital Russia or defend it? A long and general silence followed. All faces frowned, and in the silence one could hear Kutuzov’s angry grunting and coughing. All eyes were looking at him. Malasha also looked at her grandfather. She was closest to him and saw how his face wrinkled: he was definitely about to cry. But this did not last long.
– The sacred ancient capital of Russia! - he suddenly spoke, repeating Bennigsen’s words in an angry voice and thereby pointing out the false note of these words. - Let me tell you, Your Excellency, that this question makes no sense for a Russian person. (He leaned forward with his heavy body.) Such a question cannot be asked, and such a question has no meaning. The question for which I asked these gentlemen to gather is a military question. The question is: “The salvation of Russia is in the army. Is it more profitable to risk the loss of the army and Moscow by accepting a battle, or to give up Moscow without a battle? This is the question I want to know your opinion on.” (He rocked back into his chair.)
The debate began. Bennigsen did not yet consider the game lost. Admitting the opinion of Barclay and others about the impossibility of accepting a defensive battle near Fili, he, imbued with Russian patriotism and love for Moscow, proposed transferring troops at night from the right to the left flank and striking the next day on the right wing of the French. Opinions were divided, there were disputes in favor and against this opinion. Ermolov, Dokhturov and Raevsky agreed with Bennigsen’s opinion. Whether guided by a sense of need for sacrifice before leaving the capital or by other personal considerations, these generals did not seem to understand that the present council could not change the inevitable course of affairs and that Moscow had already been abandoned. The rest of the generals understood this and, leaving aside the question of Moscow, talked about the direction that the army should have taken in its retreat. Malasha, who, without taking her eyes off, looked at what was happening in front of her, understood the meaning of this advice differently. It seemed to her that it was only a matter of personal struggle between “grandfather” and “long-haired,” as she called Bennigsen. She saw that they were angry when they spoke to each other, and in her heart she sided with her grandfather. In the middle of the conversation, she noticed a quick sly glance thrown by her grandfather at Bennigsen, and after that, to her joy, she noticed that the grandfather, having said something to the long-haired man, besieged him: Bennigsen suddenly blushed and walked angrily around the hut. The words that had such an effect on Bennigsen were Kutuzov’s opinion expressed in a calm and quiet voice about the benefits and disadvantages of Bennigsen’s proposal: about transferring troops at night from the right to the left flank to attack the right wing of the French.
“I, gentlemen,” said Kutuzov, “cannot approve of the count’s plan.” Troop movements in close range are always dangerous from the enemy, and military history confirms this idea. So, for example... (Kutuzov seemed to be thoughtful, looking for an example and looking at Bennigsen with a bright, naive look.) But at least the Battle of Friedland, which, as I think the count remembers well, was... not entirely successful only because our troops were reforming at too close a distance from the enemy... - A moment of silence followed, which seemed to everyone to be very long.
The debate resumed again, but there were frequent breaks, and it was felt that there was nothing more to talk about.
During one of these breaks, Kutuzov sighed heavily, as if getting ready to speak. Everyone looked back at him.
- Eh bien, messieurs! Je vois que c"est moi qui payerai les pots casses, [So, gentlemen, therefore, I have to pay for the broken pots," he said. And, slowly rising, he approached the table. "Gentlemen, I have heard your opinions." Some will disagree with me, but I (he stopped) by the power entrusted to me by my sovereign and fatherland, I order a retreat.
Following this, the generals began to disperse with the same solemn and silent caution with which they disperse after a funeral.
Some of the generals, in a quiet voice, in a completely different range than when they spoke at the council, conveyed something to the commander-in-chief.
Malasha, who had been waiting for dinner for a long time, carefully came down from the floor with her bare feet, clinging to the ledges of the stove with her bare feet, and, getting mixed up between the legs of the generals, slipped through the door.
Having released the generals, Kutuzov sat for a long time, leaning on the table, and kept thinking about the same terrible question: “When, when was it finally decided that Moscow was abandoned? When was what was done that resolved the issue, and who is to blame for this?”
“I didn’t expect this, this,” he said to Adjutant Schneider, who came to him late at night, “I didn’t expect this!” I didn't think that!
“You need to rest, Your Grace,” said Schneider.
- No! “They will eat horse meat like the Turks,” Kutuzov shouted without answering, hitting the table with his plump fist, “they too will, if only...

In contrast to Kutuzov, at the same time, in an event even more important than the retreat of the army without a fight, in the abandonment of Moscow and its burning, Rostopchin, who appears to us as the leader of this event, acted completely differently.
This event - the abandonment of Moscow and its burning - was as inevitable as the retreat of the troops without a fight for Moscow after the Battle of Borodino.
Every Russian person, not on the basis of conclusions, but on the basis of the feeling that lies in us and lay in our fathers, could have predicted what happened.
Starting from Smolensk, in all the cities and villages of the Russian land, without the participation of Count Rastopchin and his posters, the same thing happened that happened in Moscow. The people waited for the enemy with carelessness, did not rebel, did not worry, did not tear anyone to pieces, but calmly awaited their fate, feeling the strength within themselves to the fullest. Hard time find what was supposed to do. And as soon as the enemy approached, the richest elements of the population left, leaving their property; the poorest remained and set fire and destroyed what was left.
The consciousness that it will be so, and will always be so, lay and lies in the soul of the Russian person. And this consciousness and, moreover, the premonition that Moscow would be taken, lay in the Russian Moscow society of the 12th year. Those who began to leave Moscow back in July and early August showed that they were expecting this. Those who left with what they could seize, leaving their houses and half their property, acted this way due to that latent patriotism, which is expressed not by phrases, not by killing children to save the fatherland, etc. by unnatural actions, but which is expressed imperceptibly, simply, organically and therefore always produces the most powerful results.

“The Magnificent Seven”, “The Great Escape”, “Red Sun”, “Once Upon a Time in the West”, “The Rain Passenger” are the films that made Bronson Charles famous. On account talented actor over 120 roles in film and television projects. He left this world in August 2003, but his name will forever go down in the history of cinema.
