Siege of Pskov The Siege of Pskov, known as the Pskov Defense in Russia (Russian: оборона Пскова ), took place between August 1581 and February 1582, when the army of the Polish king and Grand Duke of Lithuania Stephen Báthory laid an unsuccessful siege and successful blockade of the city of Pskov during the final stage of the Livonian War of 1558–1583.
Siege of Belaya The Siege of Belaya was the final military episode of the Smolensk War. The heroic defense of the fortress by its small Russian garrison against a large Polish-Lithuanian army of King Władysław IV Vasa thwarted the king's plan to march against Moscow and made him sign the Treaty of Polyanovka in which he relinquished his claims to the Russian throne.
