The Russians who were wounded at Borodino arrived back in Moscow and the city was evacuated, including the Rostov family who eventually fled to escape from the French. But instead of taking their furniture and belongings on the carts they were persuaded by Natasha to take wounded soldiers and, unknown to her, one of the soldiers was Andrei.
Pierre heard that Helene intended to divorce him and that Anatole was dead. He decided to stay in Moscow in order to assassinate Napoleon, but as Moscow began to burn, he was arrested by the French as an incendiary.
