Russia returns remains of Napoleon-era general to France July 13, 2021 GMT MOSCOW (AP) Russia on Tuesday repatriated the remains of one of Napoleon’s most trusted generals after their discovery in the country two years ago. The coffin with the skeleton of Charles-Etienne Gudin, one of Napoleon’s closest allies, was brought to the entrance of the Moscow Vnukovo airport building on a horse-drawn cart accompanied by men in 19th century French military uniform. Gudin died in 1812 during the French warrior-emperor’s invasion of Russia. The 44-year-old general was hit by a cannonball near Smolensk, a city 370 kilometers (229 miles) west of Moscow. He died of gangrene three days after his leg was amputated.
