Private of the Grenadier Company of the Life Guards Finnish Regiment. On October 4, 1813, on the plain near Leipzig, the greatest of the battles of the Napoleonic era began, lasting for three days and becoming decisive in the course of the coalition war against France, known in history as the "Battle of Nations." The coalition included Russians and Prussians, Austrians and Swedes, while Napoleon's army fought alongside the French, Poles, Dutch, Saxons, Belgians, and Italians. The Battle of Leipzig ended in Napoleon's defeat, from which his army could never recover. However, the allies did not achieve their goal – they were unable to encircle and destroy the French. Both sides suffered unprecedented losses for the early 19th century: the allies lost between 54,000 and 80,000 killed and wounded (of which 38,000 were Russians, who bore the brunt of the battle), while their opponent suffered over 60,000 killed and wounded, 20,000 captured, and 325 cannons. Despite the extremely fierce and bloody nature of the battle, the military capabilities of neither Napoleon nor his opponents were realized. The outcome of the battle, in which both sides displayed tremendous courage, was determined by the simple numerical superiority of the anti-French coalition forces. History is familiar with the fate of Private Leontiy Korennyy. The breast of the hero was adorned with the Order of Saint George, awarded... He was noted for his bravery displayed during the Battle of Borodino. In October 1813, during the famous "Battle of the Nations" near Leipzig, the 3rd Battalion of the regiment was attacked by significantly superior enemy forces and began to withdraw, fighting as they retreated. Part of the battalion was pinned against a high stone fence. L. Korennoy helped the battalion commander and the wounded officers to climb over it, while he, along with a handful of brave men, stayed behind to cover their retreating comrades. Soon, he was left alone and fiercely fought off the approaching enemies with his bayonet and the butt of his rifle. In the battle, he sustained 18 wounds and was taken prisoner. Admiring the courage of the Russian soldier, the French provided medical assistance to the hero, and when he regained his strength, they released him as a sign of respect for his valor. For his bravery, Leonid Korennoy was promoted to the rank of ensign and became the standard-bearer of the regiment. He was awarded a special silver medal to be worn around his neck with the inscription “For Love of the Fatherland.” For participation in the Battle of Nations, the Life Guards Finland Regiment was awarded silver trumpets inscribed "In reward for excellent bravery and courage displayed in the battle at Leipzig on October 4, 1813."
