Moscow has repatriated the body of Charles-Étienne Gudin de La Sablonnière, a French general who fought in the failed 1812 Napoleonic invasion of Russia. His body was found near Smolensk in 2019, where he died of a cannon wound. The ceremony for his remains took place at Moscow’s Vnukovo-3 Business Aviation Center on Tuesday, where the funeral cortege was met by Napoleonic re-enactors in army uniforms. The coffin was covered with a French flag, and those involved held a minute’s silence in his memory, before it was loaded onto a plane to fly back to France in time for the country’s July 14 celebrations, also known as Bastille Day.
