	Warsaw Uprising (1794) - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Warsaw Uprising of 1794 (otherwise called the Warsaw Insurrection, Polish: insurekcja warszawska) was an armed Polish insurrection at the onset of Kościuszko's Uprising by the people of the city.
		The king dispatched Hetman Piotr Ożarowski and marshal of the Permanent Council Józef Ankwicz to Iosif Igelström, the Russian ambassador and commander of all Russian occupation forces in Poland, with a proposal to evacuate both the Russian and Polish troops loyal to the king to a military encampment at Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki.
		In the 19th century the Uprising of 1794 was presented in a bad light in Imperial Russian historiography, as the fights in Warsaw were referred to as a "massacre" of unarmed Russian soldiers by the Warsaw's mob.

	Warsaw Uprising - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Knowledge of the Warsaw Uprising, inconvenient to Stalin, was twisted by propaganda of the People's Republic of Poland, which stressed the failings of Home Army and the Polish government-in-exile, and forbade all criticism of the Red Army or the political goals of Soviet strategy.
		From 1956 on, the image of the Warsaw Uprising in Polish propaganda was changed a little bit to underline that the soldiers were indeed brave, while the officers were treacherous and the commanders were characterised by disregard of the losses.
		Memories of the uprising helped to inspire the Polish labour movement Solidarity, which led a peaceful opposition movement against the Communist government during the 1980s, leading to the downfall of that government in 1989 and the emergence of democracy.
