According to St Cyr's bio in Chandler's "Napoleon's Marshal's", this was a French victory, which earned St Cyr his marshal's baton...? And the Wikipedia article about St Cyr says the same thing :S I'm confused! /MatteusH

The result of the battle was inconclusive. That is why both French and Russian historians contend that it was their country who won the battle. So did Napoleon. As the author of this article I wrote that it is more likely to be Russian victory because Wittgenstein though outnumbered by St Cyr's troops stopped the French offensive on St. Petersburg.
