Members of historical clubs dressed as 1812 French and Russian soldiers take part in a reenactment to mark the 205th anniversary of Napoleon's army retreat from Russia across the Berezina River near the village of Studenka, some 85 km of Minsk, on November 26, 2017. About 50,000 people, soldiers from both sides and civilians, were killed during the crossing. In total of nearly half a million soldiers, from France as well as all of the vassal states of Europe, who invaded Russia in June 1812, barely 10,000 survived by the end of the campaign in December 1812. / AFP PHOTO / MAXIM MALINOVSKY (Photo credit should read MAXIM MALINOVSKY/AFP/Getty Images)
