Everyone knows the glorious name of Mikhail Illarionovich Kutuzov (1745-1813). For any Russian person, the name of Kutuzov is on a par with the great names of Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, Kuzma Minin, Dmitry Pozharsky. All his life he fought for the glory of Russia, and at the end of his life he won the battle for Russia. Kutuzov's name is usually associated with the unprecedented crushing defeat of the greatest military genius - Napoleon (who, back in 1805, called Kutuzov a "cunning fox" - for outwitting him). Meanwhile, even a cursory acquaintance with the biography of the future savior of Russia allows us to assert: he was an extraordinary person.
