abstract
  • The small fortress of Belaya which fell into the hands of the Commonwealth during the Time of Troubles was liberated by the Russian army during its offensive in 1632. It became guarded by a garrison of 1,000 soldiers under the commandership of the voivode Fyodor Volkonsky. He already distinguished himself in 1618 during the defence of Moscow against Władysław IV as well as during his successful operations against Crimean Tatar raids. During the fortuneless siege of Smolensk for the Russians, Volkonsky tried to help the voivode Mikhail Shein by attacking Polish detachments, capturing the Polish baggage, attracting the enemy's forces and repelling their attacks. After Shein's situation worsened and he signed the capitualation treaty, king Władysław IV who still claimed to be the legitimate Russian Tsar intended to deepen his success and moved his army towards Moscow. On his way to Russian capital he wanted to capture the small fortress Belaya.
