The Wilno Uprising of 1794 began on April 22, 1794, during which Polish-Lithuanian forces led by Jakub Jasiński fought with Russian forces occupying the city during the Kościuszko Uprising. The Russians were expelled from Wilno (Vilnius), and thanks to Jasiński's skill, no casualties were sustained during the bloodless uprising.^[1]
