Brilevskoye Field is a historical site associated with the dramatic events of the War of 1812. Here, on the banks of the Berezina River, in November 1812, the fate of the French army was decided during its retreat. The Berezina crossing became Napoleon's last major battle of the campaign and ended in the complete rout of his forces. It was here, having lost approximately 50,000 men, that the French emperor finally lost control of his army.
