Motives
Catherine II did not see the polish renegades who revolted against their king as ``Poland''. Around the time of the events, the perception was that kingdom was granted upon the king by God and anyone opposing this was also opposing God, which was unthinkable and ridiculous. Catherine II and Frederik of Prussia were defending the Monarchy, with wide support from European states (with the exception of France for obvious reasons). The russian forces, experienced with the just-completed wars versus Turkey and Sweden, and lead by the legendary generalisimus Alexander Suvorov, ``freed Poland from the ``vile constitution, being outnumbered more than 2 to 1.--61.68.195.126 12:27, 3 May 2005 (UTC)


 * What is the source of this? While it is important to add a note about monarchist POV, it is undeniable that Frederik used this is a pretext for partitions of Poland. Of course all partitioners used many similar explanation to explain why they had many perfectly good reasons for the invasion and annexation. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 18:38, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Error
The claim this article makes, that the lands of Kievan Rus' were reunited under one ruler at this period in history, is incorrect. Galicia, an important territory in the history of Rus', was given to Austria. The lands of Rus' were not reunited until the Soviets did so in the early 1940s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.242.164.7 (talk • contribs)

20,000?
Where did you get those 20,000 confederates? As far as I know targowiczanie had no army to speak of, they entirely depended on the russian troops. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.18.170.26 (talk) 21:32, 3 April 2007 (UTC).

Rename
I think it would be a good idea to rename this article to: Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth–Russian War of 1792 Samogitia (talk) 11:03, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope; this is not a common name, and the dash in Polish-Lithuanian makes this construction confusing. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 14:05, 21 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Agree this article needs to be renamed, M.K. (talk) 14:41, 22 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Nope. It should stay like it is.--Sobiepan (talk) 15:48, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
