Hey did any one read any of the other headlines on this webpage? "Russian Christian TV offers sodomites a one way trip to California" "The West resembles a decapitated rooster. Wings flapping barely flying" or the classic "Rasputin was a great and good man, cruelly murdered and slandered by English spies" Wholly heck calls into question the thrust of the article that they are celebrating Suvorov the "liberator" of Switzerland. But great photos of uniforms though :-) |

Err yup, I have nothing to say on the matter… I wouldn't click any links either, hence my disclaimer… Nothing to say about the site :~| |

Not a very good reenactment, is it? No snow or ice? Anyone could do the walk! LOL But great to view and remember, although the Russians weren't the only ones to cross the Alps, were they? And certainly not the first? Hannibal springs to mind and then later Napoleon and the French did it. |

"Impassable mountain passes"?? This one made my day.
I'm still puzzled by modern nationalist propaganda, wherever it comes from, surfing on supposed people ignorance. |

the Jäger look good, a nice impression of light green, even good hair style and the BMI looks good too. |

I would have loved to take part in such an re – enactment – inspirational, but now I am too old for such rigors as crossing the Alps in 18th century foot gear.

I drove back from Garda to Basel a dozen or so years ago and realised I was going through that pass after seeing the artwork and memorial. I must have stopped there to take some photos, if only I could find them. As for anyone doing that, given the way my car struggled at times, I'd say it was certainly a feat, especially given the combat they were involved in, unlike Hannibal. |

Nice.
I only drove the Grande Sainte Bernard route in a new Citroen Visa (3 cyl 900cc?) leaser ok- joke was we met a Fiat500 with two Aussie birds at the top! Also posted, by [you know who__] but a different perspective from above, TMP link "In 2019, the 220th anniversary of the Swiss campaign…" d |

Luckily I was there in 1999 – some very interesting exhibitions for the bicentennial – I started at Bellinzona. |
