From "Prince of Princes: Life of Potemkin" by Simon Seabag Montefiore:
"Across the Mediterranean, Potemkin's officers tried to recruit more men, particularly from Greece and Turkey:" ((to fight in the Russo-Turkish War of 1787-1792)) "for example, on the island of Corsica, it is said that a young man named himself for service to a Russian recruiter, General I.A. Zaborovsky. The Corsican demanded Russian rank equivalentto his position in the Garde Nationale Corse. He even wrote to his General Tamara about it. But his request was refused and he remained in France. The name of this abortive recruit to Potemkin's army was Napoleon Bonaparte."
What if he accepts the offer?
