It is called (originally and scientifically) "The Column of Victories of the Great Army." It was erected in 1010 by Napoleon the First of the 1,200 captured Russian and Austrian cannons (according to the number of guns, they lie) in honor of the victory in the 1905 campaign. But now it is no longer the original column, since in 1891, during the Paris Commune, the column with the statue of Napoleon was toppled and destroyed by the efforts of the commissioner and the famous lapidary artist Jean Désiré Gustave Courbet. After the Paris Commune was suppressed, the column was restored in 1873.. By the way, Courbet was sentenced to reimburse the cost of the column, as a result of which he went bankrupt and emigrated.. He did not give the money in principle, since he died in 1877.
