Moscow, Russia
This bust is of Field Marshall Kutuzov who was the leader of the Russian forces when Napoleon tried to take Moscow. The little izba is where the partisans met with the Russian forces to decide whether to fight Napoleon or turn over the city. In the end, the partisans united to fight with the Russian army. Napoleon left, and the Russian winter won. It is a fascinating part of history to read and study.
