The Polish Campaign of 1806-1807 saw the Grande Armée and a Russo-Prussian coalition clash, first in Mazovia (battles of Czarnovo, Pułtusk and Golymin) then in East Prussia, with the battles of Preußisch Eylau [now Bagrationovsk - Багратионовск], Heilsberg [Lidzbark Warmiński] and Friedland [Pravdinsk - Правдинск].
The table below allows you to compare the names of the main localities of East Prussia in German (having lasted until 1945, with sometimes some changes under the Third Reich) and their current toponyms, in Russian or Polish, the territory having been shared at the end of the Second World War between the U.S.S.R. to the north and Poland to the south, as desired by Joseph Stalin (Иосиф Виссарионович Сталин).
