Major historical events of the Russian Partition included the Warsaw Uprising (1794) soon after Kościuszko's victory at Racławice. It ended up in the massacre of Praga district of Warsaw, in which the Russian imperial army killed up to 20,000 civilians in reprisal or revenge, regardless of gender and age.[4] "The whole of Praga was strewn with dead bodies, blood was flowing in streams" wrote Suvorov himself.[5]
