All episodes: • 1812. Napoleonic Wars ...
On 26th August, 1812, two huge armies were doing the last preparations to one of the bloodiest battle of the epoch near the village of Borodino, 124 kilometers away from Moscow. A quarter of million soldiers, over a thousand cannons. Here, near Borodino, the fate of all the military campaign, the fate of Moscow, the fate of all Russia was being decided.
With the first streak of dawn the drums roared and pipes sounded in the French and Russian camps. At about 5.30 a.m. over 100 French cannons started bombarding the positions of the Russian left flank where the Bagration flèches were located, while the first distracting attacks were held by Napoleon on the right flank.

Fuck Poland
@@neieduardodepaula4556 hhahahaha duuuuude, why
Thanks, so my Great-great-great--grandfather was Polish.
@@neieduardodepaula4556 dafaq lol
Amazing!!!Thank you!!!Prefectly done!!!
Russian historical dramatizations, in terms of quality, look like American feature length films. I'm so enjoying the programming from Star Media. Finding this channel was like finding gold.
They bring history to life. Star Media are brilliant! I just wish the subtitles were embedded rather than an option. It messes with my browser.
You mean it looks like a video game from 5 years ago?
Jesus what kind of crappy awful American films have you been watching??
m square , the film IS from 6 years ago
@Project That is Life LoL 🤣 your spreading racism here....get the hell out of our channel American
The soviet storm was one of the best documentary i had enjoyed in years!!!! , so excited to find this !
SаHаРоК_ CaHarochek i am watching everything , even the ww1 ones,FN produces some really good quality stuff .
Me too
Samee
Absoluty true,that its fantastic produtions
Same here. Also, if You noticed, they like to put secodary character named Somoilov/Samokhin into series :) Its kinda eastern egg or coincidence...
It's nice to see history doc's from the perspective of someone other than the Americans and British. Glorious Russians, I salute you (from Canada).
At least in Canada we finally have a great leader like Napoleon.
Jeezuz christ every fucking comment. will you shut da fuck up already
Hissy Honker But the thing is that in the west including you americans had depicted Russia under the west.
yes yes, very brave General Winter, the only who had won the war ...
I'm a Russian who lives in Canada. I salute you and myself too.
I am speechless. A monumental work, beautifully dramatized, but also historically accurate. At last an elegant and rigorous account of the political and military events involving the nefarious napoleonic invasion of Sacred Mother Russia. Thank you so much for sharing it!
Jonathan Williams nope, but what they do cover decently mixes accuracy with the pro Russian sympathies.
You sound very patriotic my friend be careful with that.
"There are many ways to Moscow, Charles XII chose Poltava..." ROASTED
@fullmetaljaco , This conversation was saved memoirs of Balashov
@fullmetaljaco, In Leo Tolstoy, this is well described in War and peace. Napoleon asked Balashov several questions, which he answered with great dignity, all the while dropping impertinent hints. For example, when asked which road leads to Moscow, he replied that there are many roads, and one of them goes through Poltava. And in response to Napoleon's remark that there are many churches in Russia and the population seems to be religious, Balashov said that this was true, and added: "As in Spain." Tolstoy's description of this is quite remarkable - he tells how Napoleon's entourage pretended that nothing special was said, and if it was, it does not deserve attention, and so on. According to Tarla, a good part of the conversation between Napoleon and Balashov was simply invented by Balashov, and L. N. Tolstoy, who used Balashov's memoirs as the source material, was mistaken, and the entire "mise EN scene" that he skillfully constructed, namely the mise EN scene, is pure theater, which never actually happened?
Charles got ass kicked
Starmedia, are incredible. The detail they put into their productions shame other media companies. Check out their series on Hitlers invasion of Russia. This Napoleon series needs an English narration other than that it is amazing. I intend to watch their other series, simply the best.
Look anybody who conflates the Scottish flag with the Confederate is someone whom is obviously a troubled individual... I couldn't give a crap about what Russia was doing when Napolean marched through there. Sure, they were aggressive, but, hell if I had Napolean running around wouldn't you be? As for the WWI piece I haven't seen it. Mistakes can be made in documentaries... so what? It still does not detract from the quality and indepth nature of the series. I am muting this conversation. However, have a good day.
This series is fantastic, I love how you made he effort to find actors that look like the characters they are portraying
I've just finished "War and Peace" by Tolstoy and now I'm watching this amazing documentary series!
Наслаждаетесь зрелищем.
Господи
Мне больше нечего говорить
Завидую Вам) вот бы ещё раз впервые прочитать роман "Война и Мир"
I started reading it, this week, I have almost finished it, I can't believe I've waited so many years to read it, it's an amazing novel. So I decided to rewatch this documentary by starmedia
So Russians beat Napoleon too? And Hitler? Damn. I was told it was Americans. I also believed Americans beat aliens like truly shown in the Independence day movie.
Wellington at Waterloo was not Russian. Were the Russians even at Waterloo?
@@Crashed131963 Waterloo took place in 1815, after Napoleon's deposition in 1814. After the British fucked Napoleon's escape from the island Elba. If someone had watched the Emperor more closely, the this battle might not have happened.
@@Crashed131963 the real battle was at leipzig, but the British did play an important role in the peninsular war
This documentary is absolutely amazing!!!
so... after *soviet storm* and the *korean war* im going to watch this napoleonic wars series. i was not disappointed with the previous documentary"s the least. it was very educational Thank you starmedia :)
star media is the best , I absolutely loved the series on the romanovs
Star media is such a good find, have always been fascinated by Russia, the country the people her history
Because the U.S.S.R was made the Allies hate Russia by what I know
Because the U.S.S.R was made the Allies hate Russia by what I know
+tonycavanagh1929 I know what you mean. I can't quite figure out why I didn't went on to learn Russian. I guess because of the time. I hope I would be able to learn it this year though. It's grammar, I had been told, is similar to Spanish, so it would be easy for someone like me to learn it. I also want to learn sign language.
That's a great idea hope you full fill it
27:24 "LEAVE THE CHICKEN!" XD oh this is why I love this channel and this company's production, they always squeeze funny moments in the midst of the drama.
You'll find this is a trait in Russian movies.
It's actually really important to, Caesar himself said something along the lines that the biggest moments of war are often caused by minor actions. Whole armies might engage in battle due to a single soldier or a group skirmish and small actions. WWI is probably the best case, be it the ANZAC at Galipolli or the Germans in Flandrers, more than once an army broke through the enemy lines but the soldiers were so used to the small gains and losses, so hungry and tired, thinking of just surviving the next day, that they settled out and lost the initiative until it was too late.
A very informative and engaging documentary series. Thank you StarMedia and Russia.
Great docu :) I finally found the Russian view of point in Napoleon's invasion of Russia. Thanks for uploading. Keep it up.
Watch the Russian movie "War and Peace" if you liked this.
Excellent production. I look forward to watching the rest. Thank you for posting.
An absolutely gorgeous documentary. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for uploading all of wonderful Russian serials and movies.
Historically a lot of countries attacked Russia. It's happening as I type in 2020. All should take heed of the one who would not attack Russia, Julius Caesar, wrote "the Slavs make for very poor slaves..."
WOW. I had no idea Gandalf watched the French enter Russia.
If it was Gandalf he wouldn't... let... them... pass!!! ⛔⛔⛔
I'm enjoying this documentary, especially in order to hear Russia's version and details but sadly the video runs too fast to read the Engish subtitles while enjoying the beautiful visual presentation. Nonetheless, thank you Star Media.
27:35 - The French. A mile away. Soldier : Leave the vodka. AND the chicken! LOL.
Large thx for upload. 👍🏽
What an excellent documentary. The moral of the story is: invade Russia at your own peril!
I really like all the details they put into the clothes of this time period.
fabulous! Thanks!
@21:00 subtitles say "...Marching west. Towards far, unknown and mysterious Moscow." I think the text translator meant "east". Otherwise , Moscow would've remained "unknown and mysterious".
so every time Mother Russia run's in any sort of EXTERNAL Threat she was and always was LEADED with such Brute but Brilliant leader, like in WW2 she was leaded by Stalin who was brutal but at the moment of the war he was the right leader for such a BRUTAL conflict
+vladz hunger "Русские обычно заканчивают войну в том месте, откуда она началась" (Иосиф Сталин) "As a rule the Russians finish the war in the place where it had been started" (Joseph Stalin)
in napoleon times they don't look too brutal to me, russian generals took care of their troops more then napoleon cared for his.
Отлично спасибо с любовью из Непала. ..
The Russian army was so efficient at that time. And retreat was allowed and used so effectively
Like i expected, an amazing documwntary
star media films are great
you need to make this dubbed so more people will watch it
sirlunkan Agreed! 👍👍
Dubbing costs money. Like, lots of money, even for a 50 min video. This series isn't popular enough or money-making enough to do that. Plus, in my experience, the dubbed voices end up as nowhere near the original voices.
For watching, subtitles are optimal. For audiobooks dubbing would help.
During the first minute of this did anyone else think the stumbled on a Lord of the Rings fan film?
"Is that the Russian version of Gandalf...?"
+TheLordUrban DARN IT! As soon as the old man appeared I thought he was Leo Tolstoy, author of War and Peace, the novel about Russia in the years leading up to the 1812 invasion. I guess LOTR was not on my mind, LOL.
TheLordUrban lotr with gun powder could be fun.
MUSIC IS BEYOND OTHERS.TOO GOOD.
I am passionate about learning everything about world history, as much as I can, of course. You have just posted two of my many favorite aspects of world history, Napoleanic wars and Russia. ^_^ There is something special about Russia.. I always turn towards back to her. Being so big, it can be mistaken as its own continent, not just another country. If we can change our solar system and make Pluto no longer an official planet, than why not change Russia into a continent? Unfortunately, western nations are obsessive with the number 7 and will never want to change the list of continents into 8, which by the way is a lucky number for most Asian countries. Anyways thank you for increasing the videos about Russias' history. I love your style of narration and execution of facts. Please keep it up. Would be a wonderful world history collection series. Thank you so much again. Your channel is the best for history knowledge.
I just realised I'm replying to all your comments 😂👌🏽
Very good documentary
Excelente la calidad y la actuacion. Bravo por el cine ruso! Espero que proximamente puedan agregar subtitulos al español. Saludos desde Argentina.
a surprisingly high-quality documentary, when I realized it was Russian, I thought, oh crap, but no, I enjoyed this very much, thank you. however some minor mistakes, Glory glory hallelujah wasn't a tune heard in 1812, and the French army moved initially east, not west, Spazifa moi drug
Awesome cinematographic work. Hats off . Please upload videos in English translation . Thanks 🙏
Ютуб блокирует видео о России на английском языке
I want to learn Russian!!!
Учи
Even without actors dramatizing events and people this series is still very interesting. The is a two part French documentary about Napoleon's Invasion and Retreat which is very good as it mentions a rank and file Old Guard along with major players like Kutusov, Alexander I, and Napoleon (of course). One new name I've never heard before was Napoleon's staff Marshal Coloncueier. His Excellency ignored his advice and the Grand Army was destroyed.
So great videos
After watching this series it makes me wanna play Napoleon Total War and Cossacks
The subtitles have some bad grammar and weak spelling issues at times, but otherwise, a great documentary. Thanks, StarMedia!
Please add the all war docs from your other channel thare are a lot of videos from thare me and the world would love to watch in English subtitles thank you .
Espectacuñar documental; el mejor q he visto de este episodio bélico...Sólo me faltan los subtítulos en español...
excellent . would love some english voice overs. it could be watched by more people to gain a greater perspective
True Reading subs at the bottom of the screen is annoying fast.
32:29 well sucks to be that guy
Very well done...this has me interested in the campaign into Russia
Old guy at the start = gandalf without a hat
this needs subs NOW !!!!
+vssh L.C. It has it... just click cc.
+Alexandre Boutin Katzmann Exactly I spent most my time commenting to people who didn't know how to activate subtitles how to do it while watching the great documentary
I’ve been all my life so sick and tired of western cultural dominance. Thanks youtube algorithm led me to this channel.
That soldier that overslept clearly was a heavy sleeper to not notice an entire army moving out.
The best of the best..thank you star media...watched all urs documentaries.. And still watching it again and again..never felt bored.. By watching feels like being in evry character u shown..thanks again for saving money from other paid platforms..❤❤❤..love and glory to russia
Somewhere to download the subtitles in a SRT file ?
they have no idea what is in store for them Im just beginning to watch and the poor french are gonna get their heads handed to them. I just know it.
no shit sherlock? it's a historical documentary. that's like me predicting that its going to be february next month.
oh ok mr. smartie pants ooh your so clever . I never studied Napoleon, I only heard about waterloo , are you always that crass or did somebody pee in your cheerios? you need a hug :)
Stop bullying the poor guy. If he wants to make history a bit more interesting and dramatic for himself, then let him be!
The actual reason Boney invaded Russia is he demanded that Nik not trade with Britain. Since doing that would have spelt financial ruin for Russia he couldn't do as told. As a result France invaded to prevent this trade. These are visually great and do provide information however remember these are made for a audience in Russia
Кто такой ник? Тогда императором был Александр l
Who is playing "Battle Hymn of the Republic?"
2:47 wrong translation or rather mistake нашествие = invasion
WTF is Gandalf doing in Russia ?
English audio?
Hi I am from Philippines seeing your rich great history make me change my perspective to you at first I really hate communism but when I saw this and the soviet storm It has changed a lot a great salute to you star media and mother Russia but no salute to you China...
Ever heard of Sino-Soviet split?
English translation please..
Gandalf?
Gotta need this for my battle against the fascists!!
@ 27:39 😂😂 LMFAO out down the Vodka and chicken!
Have a English version plz
Nice to see Gandolph the White standing by the greet the soldiers in the opening.
This is how typical Russian peasants looked 200 and even 100 years ago. Shaving clean and cutting hair very short was uncommon.
This is Leo Tolstoy. Gandalf marched in Napoleon's army, like all Europeans ...
Is there any chance to have serbian substitute?
Hello starmedia eng. Where all soviet storm viedos are banned? Those videos are useful, and I want to watch. Can you please open those things?
And now... YOU CAN
i respect russia but napoleon is one greatest generals of all time the guy try to invade the ottoman by himself but block by British
Bagration were from old noble Georgian rut Bagrationi.
Resumed Marching West? (20,07)
WWhere is the subtitles?
NATO and USA should watch this serie in order to know its destiny in case of invansion of Russia. Hitler, seemingly, didn't watch it.
4:16: He did implement the Napoleonic Code. It’s still ratified even today.
And practised daily !
Napoleonic Wars start with Gandalf?
Español porfavor
As with all the Star Media offerings, I am looking forward to rest of the series...I can't help but note however that the Russian Army appears to be extremely well fed ...
I wish this was dubbed.
No, my boyfriend and I will only watch the dubbed series. Russian is too different from English. I have to keep a globe next to me when I watch the WW2 series, because I can't even understand the maps in this thing.
I am learning the geography of Russia though.
Also we had an ongoing disagreement (because US propaganda) Where he claimed Truman defeated the Nazis, and I still say Stalin defeated the Nazis, by drawing them into the extreme cold.
Oh, well I live in Alaska. Russian is one of the languages people still speak in the native fishing villages. We have churches with onion domes in town.
Russia is like Alaska's big sister in a way. We have so much in common.
Благослови беликий матушка России. .Господи. .
Oh nice another good documentary like soviet storm? Don't tell me there is one out there about the great northern wars
I love Russian content of all kinds, however the Russian to English translations are still awkward and clumsy. Why is this so??? So many Russians must speak good English. Other than that love from Australia, and by the way, your English is still far better than my Russian. Respect comrades!!!
Why do we "have to" speak English? You have confused great Russia with your Anglo-Saxon colonies. After 1945, we forced the Germans to speak Russian in German schools.
@@user-ld9hx7eh8b That comment is just silly, best wishes nonetheless
@@jasonparr4275 Russian counter intelligence, fluent in English. This is quite enough.
@@user-ld9hx7eh8b He means that subtitles have to be done by native speakers of the TARGET language who, of course, have to be excellent in the SOURCE language. This makes sure that the target language sounds normal. In other words English subtitles of Russian movies are better done by English speakers, while Russian subtitles of English movies are better done by Russian speakers. Very simple, no conspiracy, no counter intelligence, just the possibility to follow the narrative optimally. Привет из Греции.
@@georgevlavianos1401 agree with you i think its subtitles makes with google translate. like my comment.
The Grandee Army were already in hell without firing a single shot in the first months of invasion because of the Russian heat and the vast country they needed to march. Russian Generals are wise to retreat :) Even if Napoleon can turn back time I cant think of any possible way how he can defeat Russia. 600,000 men is still too small for a Russian invasion
Jonathan Williams The first months of the invasion was summer. and Napoleons army also suffered from the extreme heat. The winter cold just hit em hard when they begun thier retreat from Moscow months later.
I guess this guy doesn't know that in the early months of invasion ( June, July & August of 1812 ) the weather in Russia was very hot, so the GA had a very serious problem with water. It has affected them a lot, especially the cavalry units were decimated by the loss of so many horses.
+Jonathan Williams >Implying if Battle of Borodino happened at Winter LOL
LOL! These losers constantly complain about the weater. Sometimes it's too hot, sometimes it's too cold.Decide already who defeated Napoleon, general Heat or general Frost! Even Charles XII Swedish king from nothern country(!) complained about the cold in the Ukraine, but the winter is warmer there then in Sweden!
Guys I would love to see this but my wife can not keep up with subtitles. This and many more if only they were dubbed in English. Thanks!
At the beginning I thought it was fucking gandalf
is there an english version available star media?
+Mr. C. No. Just on russian with english subs.
+StarMediaEN well i loved the soviet storm series; is there anywhere i can find it with english audio? I'd even buy, you have high quality vids. In america and can't find anything on amazon or ebay w/this series
+Mr. C. Unfortunately, it's available only on youtube.
+Mr. C. My only problem with foreign language narrators is that some times they talk too fast forcing you to read the subtitles quickly to keep up with what he's saying, meanwhile, you miss some of the images on the screen. If the pace is reasonable, I don't mind if the narrator speaks a foreign language as long as there are subtitles.
+StarMediaEN так сделайте... им же очень интересно.. вон Романовых смогли перевести, переведите и этот фильм.
In my opinion these series are need for another countryes, because many people don't know about the war, war 1812 and our brave, honor and sacrifice of our soldiers.
Zefir Real I agree with you. Russia must take very seriously the task of informing to the world about her extremely complex and heroic history, so that people could understand the important role of Mother Russia in stabilizing vast areas of the world, especially concerning to Europe. Thanks a lot!
FIRSTKAPOKMAN Did you understand, that I wrote? )) Because I'm not all sure, that I wrote it right.
Zefir Real Dear Zefir, maybe your English is not the best English of all times, but most people would understand it without further complications, that's the miracle of English language! On the other hand, if you like, and when you like, I could help you somehow with your statements in English, in particular when you try to defend Mother Russia, because She deserves every attention given from our part. Just let me know. Of course, no charges and no compromises! All for the sake of Mother Russia's Brotherhood! So long!
FIRSTKAPOKMAN Thank you .
Zefir Real You're welcome!
Damm samoylov must be the grandfather of samoshkin of Soviet storm WWII in the east they doing the same and do the same things even with the officer hurrying his as up
Russia is the mightiest nation in the world
Lmao the same Mongols that RUSSIA drove out and absolutely slaughtered ? The Japanese lmao u can't b serious just like USA owned by Vietnmams who still eat rats lmaoo
Funny
By that logic the Soviet defeats in Poland or in Afghanistan are also quite pitiful...
By that logic the americans defeat in Iraq and Syria are also quite pitiful
Brooklyn So what? I have no interest in defending them, I am not even from the US. And it doesn´t change the fact that the Soviets indeed got owned more than once (like in Poland and Afghanistan), thus dispelling that idea of mightiness of yours. Step aside from your dogmatic nationalism, think rationally for a second and you will see that your original comment is a gross overstatment.
Samoylov Ancestor of Samokhin
Ashame that this doesn't have English subtitles so that the whole world could enjoy it !
It does go to settings there is a option for English subtitles
+TheAztecGamer Poor subbing.
+Yusiley Sierra I actually find it to be okay at times yes it was inaccurate but at least I know what they are saying!!!
TheAztecGamer The overall understanding of the main concept is there, I agree. It's just that most high students will not bother reading text on something they normally have no interest on to begin with. I love how detailed Star Media is, so having it on English would be beneficial in a English speaking class curriculum.
These videos are too good, can some1 translate them to English..
The subtitles aren't perfect but they are a pretty decent translation.
he had should listen to the sign sended by the hare!
The subtitles could not have been any worse then what they are.
อยากให้ชับภาษาไทย
hola russia , porfavor ponganle subtitulo en español latino gracias si desean ponerle interes en su historia para peru ,,,
Come on man! where is the english guy from the wwii series? I am not reading all the episodes
I liked his voice
