Why didn’t Russia become an ally of Napoleon

Why didn’t Russia become an ally of Napoleon? Bonaparte viewed Russia as the optimal ally in the East. An alliance with France promised a lot: - the prospect of partitioning the Ottoman Empire; - damage to Britain’s maritime and colonial power. But it would inevitably plunge Russia into war with half of Europe. However, rapprochement did not happen. Pavel I was assassinated by conspirators. And Alexander I preferred to concentrate on domestic politics. Source: InfoDefenseENGLISH InfoDefense Источник: InfoDefenseENGLISH
