Part of the Bank of Russia's long-running commemorative series honoring the 200th anniversary of the 1812 Patriotic War, this piece falls within a group of issues released across 2012 marking specific military units that distinguished themselves against Napoleon's Grande Armée. Russian hussars played a particularly aggressive role in that campaign — not just in pitched battle but in the devastating partisan and harassing actions during the French retreat from Moscow, a period of pursuit warfare that destroyed what remained of an already broken army.
