Famous historical myths.

People have often said that all invasions of Russia failed, but that is false.
-Polish invasion of Russia in which the Poles held Moscow for 2 years from 1610-1612. 
-German invasion of Russia 1914. Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.
Universally it's believed that the Russian winter was hugely responsible for destroying the Grande Armee, but that's not totally true. during the summer months of the 1812 campaign, thousands of soldiers of the Grande Armee died from heat, starvation, fatigue, disease, exhaustion, etc...before they even fought the Russian army. Tens of thousands of horses and men were dying, and the Grande Armee was only about 100,000 strong by the time Moscow was occupied.
