		Swashbuckling leader of armed national resistance in the early Partition years, Kosciuszko was also a noted radical whose espousal of the republican ideals of the French Revolution did little to endear him to fellow aristocrats, but everything to win over the hearts and minds of the oppressed Polish peasantry.
		Kosciuszko's finest hour, though, came in 1792 with the tsarist army's invasion of Poland following the enactment of internal reforms intended to free the country from Russian influence.
		After inciting an insurrection in the Wielkopolska region that forced Prussian forces to retreat temporarily, Kosciuszko was finally beaten and taken prisoner by the Russians at Maciejowice, an event that led to the collapse of the national uprising.
