Will it come complete with nearly 200,000 frozen French corpses rotting on the frozen Russian tundra while Napoleon rides in comfort and style? ...I kind of doubt it. Amazing how good the French are with selective history”.

How about a theater with a loop of the Russian version (1967)of WAR AND PEACE, and the movie WATERLOO (1971) staring Rod Steiger and Christopher Plumber.
Battle scenes for both by Sergei Bondarchuk.
It makes the 1956 version of W&P with Henery Fonda look like Cliff’s Notes.

The French Empire in 1812 included a lot of areas outside present-day France--a big chunk of Germany, the Netherlands, even parts of Slovenia and Croatia. Additional parts of Europe were under satellite governments. A large proportion of the troops who died in Napoleon's invasion of Russia were not French.
The park should definitely include Napoleon III so they can celebrate the battle of Puebla and the battle of Sedan.
