He didn’t lose any battles to Russian generals - unless you consider General Snow and General Winter to be Russian generals.
Only if you consider the battle to be an 18th century style battle where the armies face off against each other. The Russians let Napoleon enter Moscow but left no supplies in the city and set the city on fire. Once Napoleon decided to evacuate Moscow and retreat to Paris, Cossacks did harrass the French. The scorched earth strategy was just as much a military tacic in 1812 when Napoleon tried to conquer Russia as it was in 1941 when Hitler tried an even bigger invasion of the Soviet Union.
And he lost outright at Leipzig.
