Volume 3: Book 15 - Chapter 11

Characters Present:

Tsar Alexander

Kutúzov
Toll
Konovnítsyn
Ermólov

Location: 

Vílna



Despite being given the reward, Kutúzov remains unpopular with the Tsar.   Kutúzov does not, and will not understand why the war in 1812 must be carried on, since Russia has been saved, and its enemy made to flee.

The Tsar sees Europe in the bigger picture though, and decommissions Kutúzov on the grounds of poor health.  Toll, Konovnítsyn and Ermólov receive fresh appointments.

Kutúzov still not understanding what there is left for a Russian to do, dies.
