No! He never conquered Russia-was turned back by the weather as well as military action. He may have theorized the idea. later Frenchmen buried the hatchet and Paris was a hubub of both Czarist and later Communist Russians and there are and were Russian Orthodox churches in Paris, partly for diplomatic reasons. In world war I France and Czarist Russia were allies in the battle against Germany.
