In October–November 1610, after tsarist troops were defeated at Klushino and the Seven Boyars agreed to elevate Polish prince Władysław IV Vasa to the Russian throne so as to maintain order in the capital until the arrival of a new head of state, the Commonwealth troops of Stanisław Żółkiewski entered Moscow without a fight. Żółkiewski camped on the Khoroshyovsky Meadows and Khodynka Field. Although he personally opposed the occupation of the Russian capital, he entered the city under the pressure of Polish king Sigismund III.
