Saint Petersburg sits on what was once Swedish territory. Prepare the Saab jets
There was that year of time when Poland controlled Moscow, the only nation to ever successfully capture the city. Unleash the husaria!
If only those Belarusian mercenaries had tried harder.
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.
- "Borodino", Lermontov
It, eh, controlled it with the claim of supporting a legitimate monarchy, so whether it was captured can be disputed.
It was Finnish/Karelian/Estonian/Veps (can't remember which Finnic group specifically, but doesn't matter much) under Sweden.
So actually just let Finns remember Mannerheim.
