Polotsk
Polotsk was an East Slavic principality centred on the city on the Western Dvina. Absorbed into Lithuania in the early fourteenth century, it was ruled in 1337 by Narimantas, a son of Gediminas.
The city adopted Magdeburg law in 1498. During the Livonian War Ivan the Terrible's Russian army captured Polotsk in 1563. Russia seized the city again in the first partition of Poland–Lithuania in 1772.
