Philatelia.Net / Bonapart / Plots / The directory «Plots of stamps in the catalogue»Kremlin On September 2, 1812, French troops took the city and Napoleon tried to establish his residence in the Kremlin. Two French regiments were quartered in the Senate building. When the French began their retreat, Napoleon gave orders to blow up the Kremlin. Mines were laid beneath many of the Kremlin buildings and towers. But the effort, entrusted to Marshal Mortier, was only a partial success because the night brought heavy rain that dampened the burning fuses, while some of them were noticed and extinguished by vigilant Muscovites. Nonetheless, parts of the Kremlin were seriously damaged. The biggest of the five explosions that went off was the first, which blew out all the glass and even the window frames in the Kremlin and neighboring buildings. The Vodozvodnaya Tower was entirely demolished and the Nikolskaya Tower was half destroyed. Parts of the Arsenal were destroyed, and the Faceted Palace, the Filaret Annex and the Commandant’s building were all damaged. The palace walls and the Armory building were left blackened by the flames. The Kremlin cathedrals also suffered substantial damage. During the fire, the Senate building was also damaged and the bronze St. George that had graced the dome of its Round Hall disappeared without a trace. One version of the story said the sculpture melted in the flames; according to another, the French army removed it, along with two other objects that were the Kremlin’s pride – an eagle from the Nikolsky Gates and a cross from the Ivan the Great Bell Tower – and took them as war trophies.
