1 The commencement of that movement was the movement from west to east.
2 It was growing light, the sky was clearing, only a single cloud lay in the east.
3 Tattered, blue-purple clouds, reddening in the east, were scudding before the wind.
4 Several times it moves eastward and collides with a countermovement from the east westward.
5 The army was moving from west to east, and relays of six horses carried him in the same direction.
6 Bald Hills, Prince Nicholas Bolkonski's estate, lay forty miles east from Smolensk and two miles from the main road to Moscow.
7 A countermovement is then accomplished from east to west with a remarkable resemblance to the preceding movement from west to east.
8 Still greater coherence and inevitability is seen in the life of Alexander I, the man who stood at the head of the countermovement from east to west.
9 Men went from the west to the east killing their fellow men, and the event was accompanied by phrases about the glory of France, the baseness of England, and so on.
10 Alexander I was as necessary for the movement of the peoples from east to west and for the refixing of national frontiers as Kutuzov had been for the salvation and glory of Russia.
11 The fundamental and essential significance of the European events of the beginning of the nineteenth century lies in the movement of the mass of the European peoples from west to east and afterwards from east to west.
12 Millions of men, renouncing their human feelings and reason, had to go from west to east to slay their fellows, just as some centuries previously hordes of men had come from the east to the west, slaying their fellows.
13 The movement of peoples from west to east was to be succeeded by a movement of peoples from east to west, and for this fresh war another leader was necessary, having qualities and views differing from Kutuzov's and animated by different motives.
