Personality Figures for Borodino

The following figures represent definite personalities who were present at the Battle of Borodino. I have tried to standardise the spelling of the names, as there are a number of differences between the spelling used by the manufacturers and those to be found in literature. As well as the set which includes each figure, I have also included the rank of the individual at Borodino and the unit commanded, and whether the figure is standing, mounted, sitting, etc. 

For each individual, I have listed all figures of that person, which I am aware of. I have not taken into account the uniform of the figure. It could be that the individual was actually dressed differently at Borodino than the figure. However, I think it's more important to have a figure representing that person. If you want to be sure that the uniform is also correct, you will have to check other sources.

The personalities are listed by nation for which they served (which is not always the same as their own nationality).
