April
The insurgents, led by Jan Kiliński, rise up against the Russian garrison of Warsaw in the face of the indecisiveness of Stanisław II Augustus.

They are aided by the incompetence of Russian ambassador and commander Iosif Igelström, and the chosen day being the Thursday of Holy Week when many soldiers of the Russian garrison go to the churches for the Eucharist not carrying their arms.

Finally, from the onset of the insurrection, the Polish forces are aided by the civilian population and have surprise on their side as they attack many separate groups of soldiers at the same time and the resistance to Russian forces quickly spreads over the city.
