There was that year of time when Poland controlled Moscow, the only nation to ever successfully capture the city. Unleash the husaria!

France captured Moscow (in a pyrrhic victory...) in the Napoleonic wars.

Poland held it for a year or so. We have a better claim to it

And the Russians burnt it down after the French entered.

Tell me, uncle, that not for nothing

Burnt in fire Moscow was given to the French?

It, eh, controlled it with the claim of supporting a legitimate monarchy, so whether it was captured can be disputed.
