Battle of Czasniki
The Battle of Czasniki () was fought during Napoleon's invasion of Russia, on 31 October, 1812, between Russian forces under General Wittgenstein, and the French army, commanded by Marshal Victor. This battle was a failed effort by the French to reestablish their northern “Dwina Line”, which had crumbled as a result of Wittgestein’s victory at the Second battle of Polotsk just two weeks earlier.
