Russian Casualties at Borodino 1st Cavalry Corps
Note: These strength figures are based on the number of battalions or squadrons known to be in the battle and the normal full strength organization. It should be realized that the Russian regiments were tremendously under strength by the time they reached Borodino. These figures are presented solely to provide an idea of the type of punishment the Russians received during this battle.
Note: The artillery material losses are from contemporary Russian source documents. The losses they indicate are not always consistent. Various listings will show fewer horse collars, bridles, and halters missing than draft horses lost. It would seemingly imply that the Russian soldiers scrambled about gathering up the equipment from the dead horses rather than fighting the French. In other instances it shows more horse equipment lost than horses, which would seemingly indicate that horses were stripped of their halters, etc., and led out of the battle. In addition, the casualties do not seem high enough in view of the various commentaries made by contemporaries, unless the Russians suffered a tremendous desertion-under-fire rate and, after the battle, all these men returned to their colors. It is more likely that these records are not as accurate as one might wish.
