Alleged miracle involving General Eugene de Beauharnais

I came across a story regarding General Eugene de Beauharnais who apparently witnessed an apparition by St. Savva of Storozhev during the French invasion of Russia. As near as I can figure, the incident is best outlined here [1].

I couldn't find much more information about the story (or better sources to use). However, the source seems to include a legitimate painting from a village in Smolensk that (at least at first glance) seems to be not fake. As a result, there should be at least some documentation of this that would be worthy of inclusion (or it's own separate page), but I can't seem to find any. (I can't read/speak Russian). If anyone has thoughts on it's inclusion or can track down better sources on the topic, I think it needs to be discussed. Just10A (talk) 23:50, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Is there any indication that this legend existed before Eugène's son Maximilian married into the Russian Imperial family? If not (which I assume to be the case, at least I am unaware of any such mention during Eugène's lifetime), the legend imo rather belongs to an article on Maximilian von Leuchtenberg. 217.233.109.208 (talk) 17:45, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have to check. Like I said, the primary source for this seems to be the painting in the monastery, which doesn't reference to Maximilian von Leuchtenberg to my knowledge. Just10A (talk) 15:43, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
