"Hurray, Russians!": Nationalism of 1812 / Problem Field / Home
The first war that I learned about in childhood was the war of 1812. About five years old, I touched a thin illustrated book dedicated to Napoleon's invasion to Russia. Days, I leafed through pages with hussars, cuirassiers and infantrymen, and decided that the war should look like that. Therefore, when in 1995 the country Pomoruso celebrated the fifty anniversary of the victory over Germany, I was very surprised to learn that there were other wars in our history.
