A very strange situation with military uniforms in the "Napoleonic wars". Several armies are at war, and, go and figure it out among the roar, acrid smoke, general devastation, where to fire, whom to chop.

French Hussars and Hussars of the Russian Empire.
The insignia are filigree … Much has been written about this. First of all, Igor Shkurin, Sergey Ignatenko. A detailed analysis of which, together with the searches of many others, who followed in their footsteps or on their own initiative, went to deal with the problem, reduce many of the moments of traditional history of the late 18th - early 19th centuries into the category of monstrous fables.
Without helpfully explaining signatures, you will never guess who is who. What countries the handsome fighters represent. And if you also remember that both of them speak French … And that Napoleon himself mostly sported in a green jacket … that seems to be specifically in service with the Russian army …
And who is it there, in green, enters the burning Moscow?
