Tens of thousands of French troops died in November 1812 when the Russians attacked Napoleon's army as it was crossing the Berezina River on a punishing retreat from Moscow. On Friday, they were buried at a cemetery in the village of Studenka, 100 kilometers (60 miles) east of the capital of Minsk in a ceremony attended by French Ambassador Michel Raineri.
