stone monument with golden Cyrillic inscriptions
Short Termstone monument with golden Cyrillic inscriptions. The inscription reads: "ПОХОРОНЕНЬ ФРАНЦУЗАМИ 8-ГО АВГУСТА 1812 ГОДА ВЪ КОРОЛЕВСКОМЪ БАСТІОНЪ, ВЪ ПРИСУТСТВІИ ИМПЕРАТОРА НАПОЛЕОНА, СО ВСЪМИ ВОИНСКИМИ ПОЧЕСТЯМИ." This translates to: "BURIED BY FRENCHMEN ON AUGUST 8, 1812, AT THE ROYAL BASTION, IN THE PRESENCE OF EMPEROR NAPOLEON, WITH ALL MILITARY HONORS." The monument is made of granite and has a stepped base. It is located outdoors, with sunlight casting shadows on the grass and trees in the background. A decorative metal fence is visible to the left and right of the monument. The overall scene suggests a historical memorial site.
