The Battle of Buda Zaborowska, one of many skirmishes of the January Uprising, took place on 14 April 1863 near the village of Buda Zaborowska in central part of Russian-controlled Congress Poland. Polish forces under Major Walery Remiszewski clashed with troops of the Imperial Russian Army. The battle resulted in Russian victory. In January 1863, a number of teenagers from Warsaw fled to the Kampinos Forest, in order to escape draft to the Russian Army. On 17 January Zygmunt Padlewski from Warsaw came to Kampinos, and in the following days, he organized a 1000-strong unit of teenagers, young men and local peasants, some of whom were armed only with sticks. On 19 January most rebels left the forest, heading towards Płock. Still, a number stayed in Kampinos, also more men came to the forest from Warsaw. They were commanded by Aleksander Rogalinski. On the night of 11–12 April, two prisoners of Warsaw Citadel decided to escape, hoping that their guards would be drunk, celebrating Orthodox Easter.
