Rosyjskie przygotowania do interwencji w Polsce w świetle relacji chorążego Tadeusza Mossakowskiego z czerwca 1790 roku
Russian Preparations for an Intervention in Poland in the Light of an Account by Tadeusz Mossakowski June 1790

Summary/Abstract: Sometime, source research concerning the lives of people of slight significance unexpectedly casts a new light on the origin of great historical events. This is the case of an intelligence report, unnoticed in professional historical literature, made in the middle of 1790 by Tadeusz Mossakowski, a national cavalry ensign. (…) The mission carried out by Tadeusz Mossakowski demonstrated unambiguously that the armies of Catherine II were preparing themselves quite earnestly and concretely for an intervention in Poland already a year prior to the enactment of the Third May Constitution and two years before the signing of the Targowica Confederation.
