Battle of Shklow
1654 battle
The Battle of Shklov took place on August 12, 1654, and was one of the first battles of the Russo-Polish War (1654–67); it ended with a indecisive, however, by other sources. A small Polish–Lithuanian force of about 6,000–7,000 under Great Lithuanian Hetman Janusz Radziwiłł surprised a numerically superior Russian force under knyaz Yakov Cherkassky near Shklow. The battle took place during a solar eclipse.
