Kutúzov
as
far
as
was
in
his
power
,
instead
of
trying
to
check
the
movement
of
the
French
as
was
desired
in
Petersburg
and
by
the
Russian
army
generals
,
directed
his
whole
activity
here
,
as
he
had
done
at
Tarútino
and
Vyázma
,
to
hastening
it
on
while
easing
the
movement
of
our
army
.
But
besides
this
,
since
the
exhaustion
and
enormous
diminution
of
the
army
caused
by
the
rapidity
of
the
advance
had
become
evident
,
another
reason
for
slackening
the
pace
and
delaying
presented
itself
to
Kutúzov
.
The
aim
of
the
Russian
army
was
to
pursue
the
French
.
The
road
the
French
would
take
was
unknown
,
and
so
the
closer
our
troops
trod
on
their
heels
the
greater
distance
they
had
to
cover
.
Only
by
following
at
some
distance
could
one
cut
across
the
zigzag
path
of
the
French
.
All
the
artful
maneuvers
suggested
by
our
generals
meant
fresh
movements
of
the
army
and
a
lengthening
of
its
marches
,
whereas
the
only
reasonable
aim
was
to
shorten
those
marches
.
To
that
end
Kutúzov
's
activity
was
directed
during
the
whole
campaign
from
Moscow
to
Vílna
--
not
casually
or
intermittently
but
so
consistently
that
he
never
once
deviated
from
it
.
Kutúzov
felt
and
knew
--
not
by
reasoning
or
science
but
with
the
whole
of
his
Russian
being
--
what
every
Russian
soldier
felt
:
that
the
French
were
beaten
,
that
the
enemy
was
flying
and
must
be
driven
out
;
but
at
the
same
time
he
like
the
soldiers
realized
all
the
hardship
of
this
march
,
the
rapidity
of
which
was
unparalleled
for
such
a
time
of
the
year
.

But
to
the
generals
,
especially
the
foreign
ones
in
the
Russian
army
,
who
wished
to
distinguish
themselves
,
to
astonish
somebody
,
and
for
some
reason
to
capture
a
king
or
a
duke
--
it
seemed
that
now
--
when
any
battle
must
be
horrible
and
senseless
--
was
the
very
time
to
fight
and
conquer
somebody
.
Kutúzov
merely
shrugged
his
shoulders
when
one
after
another
they
presented
projects
of
maneuvers
to
be
made
with
those
soldiers
--
ill-shod
,
insufficiently
clad
,
and
half
starved
--
who
within
a
month
and
without
fighting
a
battle
had
dwindled
to
half
their
number
,
and
who
at
the
best
if
the
flight
continued
would
have
to
go
a
greater
distance
than
they
had
already
traversed
,
before
they
reached
the
frontier
.
This
longing
to
distinguish
themselves
,
to
maneuver
,
to
overthrow
,
and
to
cut
off
showed
itself
particularly
whenever
the
Russians
stumbled
on
the
French
army
.
So
it
was
at
Krásnoe
,
where
they
expected
to
find
one
of
the
three
French
columns
and
stumbled
instead
on
Napoleon
himself
with
sixteen
thousand
men
.
Despite
all
Kutúzov
's
efforts
to
avoid
that
ruinous
encounter
and
to
preserve
his
troops
,
the
massacre
of
the
broken
mob
of
French
soldiers
by
worn-out
Russians
continued
at
Krásnoe
for
three
days
.
Toll
wrote
a
disposition
:
"
The
first
column
will
march
to
so
and
so
,
"
etc.
.
And
as
usual
nothing
happened
in
accord
with
the
disposition
.
Prince
Eugène
of
Württemberg
fired
from
a
hill
over
the
French
crowds
that
were
running
past
,
and
demanded
reinforcements
which
did
not
arrive
.

The
French
,
avoiding
the
Russians
,
dispersed
and
hid
themselves
in
the
forest
by
night
,
making
their
way
round
as
best
they
could
,
and
continued
their
flight
.
Milorádovich
,
who
said
he
did
not
want
to
know
anything
about
the
commissariat
affairs
of
his
detachment
,
and
could
never
be
found
when
he
was
wanted
--
that
chevalier
sans
peur
et
sans
reproche
*
as
he
styled
himself
--
who
was
fond
of
parleys
with
the
French
,
sent
envoys
demanding
their
surrender
,
wasted
time
,
and
did
not
do
what
he
was
ordered
to
do
.
*
Knight
without
fear
and
without
reproach
