Timeline

1611Kremlin · MoscowIn early 1611 the Polish garrison still controlled the Moscow Kremlin, propping up a pro-Polish 'Seven Boyars' government and maintaining the occupation of the capital. The occupying forces levied taxes and appointed officials, attempting to bring Moscow into the Polish sphere of influence.
1611Outskirts of Moscow (Lyanozovo and elsewhere) · RussiaIn spring 1611 Prokopy Lyapunov organized the First Militia at Ryazhsk, joining Cossacks and local forces to besiege Polish-occupied Moscow. The militia briefly entered parts of the city, but internal conflicts and Polish reinforcements stalled the offensive.
1611Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod · RussiaIn the second half of 1611 the Polish occupation and the militia siege fell into a stalemate. Infighting within the First Militia led to Lyapunov's killing, and Kuzma Minin in Nizhny Novgorod began preparing a more organized Second Militia; the aftermath of 1611 pointed directly to the liberation of Moscow in 1612.
