Jacob De La Gardie’s march into Moscow was a military action made by an army of 5000 Swedish troops led by the Swedish noble Jacob De La Gardie. The event took place in the end of De La Gardie campaign. The march occurred in the capital of Russia, Moscow, in 1610.[1][2][3][4]
Russia, during the Time of Troubles, had a chaotic period on their throne, with constant conflicts and coronations of new regents. This led to a weakened defense of Russia. Sweden had been given a request for help from Mikhail Skopin-Shuisky, as he wanted to be crowned the new tsar of Russia. This led to the reasoning that Sweden would get rewarded if they joined the conflict. [2][1]
Poland was trying to get Vladislav Vasa elected as the new tsar, and as Sweden was against a Russian-Polish alliance they supported tsar Shuisky´s side.[5]
When the Swedes entered Moscow, Jacob De La Gardie was greeted and treated as the saviour and defender of Russia.[1][3][6]
Aftermath
Swedish troops had Moscow under control for approximately 2 months. Mikhail Skopin-Shuisky was removed from the throne. Sweden capitulated on 23 June 1610, no border changes had occurred.[1][5][2]
The Ingrian War began the same year, 1610. The field marshal Jacob De La Gardie fought against Russia in the war, which later on ended in a Swedish victory, and a gain of Kexholm and Ingria.
