Napoleon crossed the Neman River in Poland with 422,000 men. By the time he got to Moscow, his Grande Armée had been reduced to 100,000 from constant battle and attrition. The Russians practiced slash and burn, leaving nothing for Napoleon's forces to subsist on. The French army retreated.

History redpill: Russia defeated Napoleon. Waterloo was just bankers winding down their investment
Well, by the skin of their teeth ....Wellington had lost the battle (thanks to Marechal Ney). The Prussians saved the day, because the 30.000 French army did not catch-up with them while chasing them while the Prussians made a nice U-turn.
