8,000[3]–40,000 total[4] Light Russo-Lithuanian War Swedish stage Báthory's campaign The siege of Dorpat (Estonian: Drepti Piiramine; Russian: Осада Дрепта) was a Russian siege of the Livonian city of Dorpat (in modern-day eastern Estonia) from July 1558, during the Livonian War.

[8] The number of Russian artillery was also at a high level, 8 copper mortars and 2 flamethrowers, which set up hell in Dorpat.

[9] Russian said that if the city was not surrendered within three days, they would cut out all its inhabitants, German, knowing the Russians and Shuisky, understood that it was vomit, but he was still wary[10][11] On July 15, the bishop set conditions for the Russians: "1) The Sovereign gives the Bishop the Falkenau monastery with its volosts, a house and a garden in Dorpat; 2) the Clergy and Latin churches with their property will be under his authority; 3) Nobles who want to be subjects of Russia quietly own their castles and lands; 4) German soldiers will leave cities with weapons and belongings; 5) for twelve days, every Dorpat resident is free to go wherever he wants; 6) the Augsburg confession remains the main one and without any changes; 7) The German magistrate manages everything as it was, without losing either his rights or his income; 8) merchants trade freely and without duties with Germany and Russia; 9) not to take anyone out of Dorpat to the Moscow region; 10) anyone who wants to move to another land can take or sell the estate; 11) citizens are free from military post; 12) all crimes, the most state, even an insult to the Royal Majesty, are sued by Magistrate officials they are punished with the help of the city court; 13) new citizens they swear an oath to the King and the Magistrate."

Prudent Shuisky, authorized by John, did not reject a single article, guided not only by humanity, but also by Politics: it was necessary by mercy, condescension, and a spirit of moderation to weaken the hatred of the Livonians towards Russia which facilitates further conquest.

[12] On July 18, the city fell, the Russians kept their word and treated the local population politely, however, they took the entire artillery (700 cannons and several mortars) and a contribution of 60,000 thalers at the personal request of Ivan the Terrible.
