Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life of Count Rostopchin, appointed Governor of Moscow in 1812. Amidst the raging Napoleonic Wars, as the French army approached Moscow, Rostopchin became a central figure in the devastating fire that engulfed the city that year. The author examines the Governor's complex motivations, personal ambitions, and the impact of his actions on the course of history. The book places Rostopchin's role within the broader context of the tumultuous events of 1812, shedding light on the interplay of individual agency and historical forces. By exploring the interplay between Rostopchin's personal motivations and the larger historical forces at play, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the origins of the fire that consumed Moscow. It also examines the ways in which perceptions of the event have evolved over time, complicating our understanding of Rostopchin's legacy.
