In 1652 Swedes had started construction of a new wall with 12 bastions around suburbs, but by 1656 the work had not been completed. The Russian vanguard consisting of the Vladimir v.

Von Thurn was either killed, or captured in the action. The Swedes evacuated the suburbs and withdrew to the old town. A few days later, the main army under Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich arrived on the ships on the Duna River, and laid siege to Riga. The Russian army occupied three camps, two on the east bank of the Duna in Riga's suburbs, and a Corps under Ordyn-Nashokin on the west bank of the Duna, opposite the Kobrun entrenchment. As Russia had no full-fledged navy to intercept reinforcements coming to the Swedish garrison across the Baltic, Riga managed to hold out until October, when foreign officers commanding a small Russian flotilla defected to the other side and the Russians had to lift the siege. In the aftermath of this reverse, the Swedes recaptured much of Ingria, took the Pskov Monastery of the Caves and inflicted a heavy defeat on the Russian general in battle of Walk in 1657. The events of the siege were recorded in an engraving by Adam Perelli that was first published in 1697 in Samuel Puffendorf's work, Konung Carl X Gustafs Bragder. (en)
  • L'assedio di Riga da parte dello zar Alessio I di Russia fu il principale degli eventi della guerra russo-svedese (1656-1658). Le fortificazioni della città di Riga consistevano in una cinta muraria con fossato e cinque bastioni attorno alla città vecchia. Nel 1652 gli svedesi avevano iniziato la costruzione di una nuova cinta muraria con 12 bastioni anche lungo i sobborghi, ma al 1656 i lavori non erano ancora stati completati. L'avanguardia russa, composta prevalentemente da cavalieri e dalla fanteria di Daniel Krafert oltre ai dragoni di Iunkmann si avvicinò a Riga il 20 agosto e costrinse le truppe svedesi al comando del conte di Pärnu, a trovare rifugio in città. Von Thurn venne ucciso o catturato nel corso dell'azione. Gli svedesi provvidero subito ad evacuare la periferia della città e si ritirarono nella cittadella. Alcuni giorni dopo, il grosso dell'esercito al comando dello zar Alessio giunse via nave lungo il fiume Duna e pose l'assedio a Riga. L'esercito russo si dispose in tre campi, due a est del fiume Duna e uno sulla riva ovest. I russi ad ogni modo non disponevano di forze navali atte ad intercettare i rifornimenti che a Riga continuavano a fluire dalla Svezia attraverso il mar Baltico e pertanto Riga riuscì a resistere sino al mese di ottobre, quando i russi dovettero infine abbandonare l'assedio, trovandosi in difficoltà. Gli svedesi riconquistarono quindi gran parte della regione dell'Ingria, riconquistarono il monastero di Pskovo-Pechersky ed inflissero una pesante sconfitta al generale russo nella nel 1657. (it)
