The Moscow Fire Confession of Count Rostopschin
The Concluded piece presents Rostopschin’s account of Moscow’s burning, attributing flames to diverse causes and praising Russian patriotism. He defends his actions as Moscow’s governor, disputes Napoleon’s role, and critiques contemporary historians while detailing plunder, evacuation, and public sentiment during the 1812 occupation.
