Who was the general who defeated Napoleon Bonaparte in Russia?
It is normally said that Napoleon was defeated in Russia by "General Winter".In other words, he was defeated by lack of food in an area which was devoid of supplies for his army at the beginning of a typical Russian winter.Napoleon was also prevented from moving to areas which contained food by watchful Russian armies who would not allow a full scale battle but attacked small, isolated groups, (he was almost captured by Cossacks at one point).Marshal Kutuzov fought Napoleon at Borodino but it remains true that no army and no General truly won at Borodino.

What bloody winter battle marked the first time that napoleon failed to defeat an opponent?
The battle of Eylau, fought on February 8, 1807. After fifteen hours of combat the Russian Commander, general Bennigsen, decided to retreat, but the battle was all but inconclusive and its outcome can't be considered a Napoleon victory and/or a Russian defeat. That especially if we compare the French casualties of about 25000 men with those of Bennigsen's Army and Lestoq's Prussian Corp of about 15000. Strategically, Bennigsen's winter offensive was repulsed though not decisively, and this is the only positive outcome for Napoleon. The Russian Army reoccupied Eylau after the French retired to their winter quarters and was ready to restart the match the following spring.
