The <entity_3>, known as the <entity_9> Defense in <entity_6> (Russian: оборона Пскова), took place between <entity_5> and <entity_4>, when the army of the Polish king and Grand Duke of Lithuania Stephen Báthory laid an unsuccessful <entity_8> and successful blockade of the city of <entity_9> during the final stage of the <entity_0>. The first detachments of the Polish–Lithuanian army, which in the previous two years captured Polotsk (1579) and Velikiye Luki (1580), appeared at the walls of <entity_9> on <entity_2>. King Stephen Báthory then ordered a passive <entity_8>, and the <entity_7> became a blockade. At the same time, during the <entity_8> in 1581, Polish cavalry raids devastated many regions of <entity_6>, reaching Volga and Lake Ladoga. On <entity_1>, the last detachments of the Polish-Lithuanian army left the outskirts of <entity_9>.
