In
the
course
of
conversation
he
mentioned
Moscow
and
questioned
Balashëv
about
the
Russian
capital
,
not
merely
as
an
interested
traveler
asks
about
a
new
city
he
intends
to
visit
,
but
as
if
convinced
that
Balashëv
,
as
a
Russian
,
must
be
flattered
by
his
curiosity
.
"
How
many
inhabitants
are
there
in
Moscow
?
How
many
houses
?
Is
it
true
that
Moscow
is
called
'
Holy
Moscow
'
?
How
many
churches
are
there
in
Moscow
?
"
he
asked
.
And
receiving
the
reply
that
there
were
more
than
two
hundred
churches
,
he
remarked
:
"
Why
such
a
quantity
of
churches
?
"
"
The
Russians
are
very
devout
,
"
replied
Balashëv
.
"
But
a
large
number
of
monasteries
and
churches
is
always
a
sign
of
the
backwardness
of
a
people
,
"
said
Napoleon
,
turning
to
Caulaincourt
for
appreciation
of
this
remark
.
Balashëv
respectfully
ventured
to
disagree
with
the
French
Emperor
.
"
Every
country
has
its
own
character
,
"
said
he
.
"
But
nowhere
in
Europe
is
there
anything
like
that
,
"
said
Napoleon
.
"
I
beg
your
Majesty
's
pardon
,
"
returned
Balashëv
,
"
besides
Russia
there
is
Spain
,
where
there
are
also
many
churches
and
monasteries
.
