History
In 1831, when Russian troops entered Poland to pacify the insurrection, General Ciprian Antonovich Kreutz , left through Ustyluh on Lublin , from the left-flank corps was assigned to watch Zamoem a cavalry detachment (6 squadrons of dragoons , 2 hundreds of Cossacks and 4 cavalry artillery guns , which, however, due to its small number, had no possibility of completely paralyzing the actions of the garrison of the Zamoć Fortress [1] .
On February 21 ( March 5 ), 1831, the commandant Krysinsky sent 4 linear companies with 4 cannons to Ustylugu (60 km east of Zamosc), reinforced by trainers and krakus (foot and equestrian volunteers); in Ustyluh, this detachment attacked at the forward battalion of the Zhytomyr regiment and captured its commander, Colonel Bogomolets, 5 officers and 370 lower ranks [1] .
From March 5 ( 17 ), 1831 to March 28 ( April 9 ), 1831, Zamoć served as a defense for the Polish General Józef Dvernitsky’s detachment, who had penetrated into Podolia and Volyn to spread the insurgency there [1] .
From April 3 ( 15 ), 1831 to April 8 ( 20 ), 1831, a detachment of General Wojciech Chrzowski (6500 people) was hiding in Zamost, then moving back from there back through Lublin to the Vistula to join the main forces of the Polish army . On July 24 ( August 5 ), 1831 , after the transfer of General Fyodor Vasilyevich Ridiger through the Vistula, the Lublin Voivodeship was occupied by the lieutenant-general Paisiy Sergeyevich Kaisarov , and for the taxation of Zamost was allocated 6 infantry, 3 hussars and one Cossack regiment. This detachment had several hot armed clashes with the garrison, for example, on 4 ( 16 ) August 1831 , when the besieger seized two redoubts covering the outskirts of Novomyasto . Zamoć surrendered to the Russians the last among the Polish citadels; the garrison was later released home.
