Tumult wileński 1755 roku i jego reperkusje
A bloody incident in Wilno (1755) and its repercussions

Summary/Abstract: At the end of August 1755 at the tribunal in Wilno (Vilna, Vilnius) there was a bloody incident. It was a symptom of intensifying rivalry between the factions in Lithuania. Both sides – the camps around the Radziwiłł and the Czartoryski families – accused each other of lawlessness and sent the relevant ‘diaries’ to the royal court in Dresden, and Michał Czartoryski asked Russia for help before the resumption of the Lithuanian tribunal in 1756.
