January 1758: In 1757, during the Seven Years' War, the Russian forces under Field Marshal Stepan Fyodorovich Apraksin were unable to capture Königsberg from the Kingdom of Prussia. The Russians had exhausted their supplies at Memel and Gross-Jägersdorf, leading to their retreat from East Prussia.
February 1758: In January 1758 a Russian army commanded by Count William Fermor again invaded East Prussia, where the few remaining Prussian troops put up little resistance. Frederick abandoned the province to Russian occupation, judging it strategically expendable and preferring to concentrate on achieving another decisive victory in the Silesian theatre to force the Austrians to the peace table.
July 1757: In mid-1757 a Russian force of 75,000 troops under Field Marshal Stepan Fyodorovich Apraksin invaded East Prussia and took the fortress at Memel.
August 1757: In 1757, during the Seven Years' War, the Russian forces, led by Field Marshal Stepan Fyodorovich Apraksin, defeated a smaller Prussian army commanded by Field Marshal Lehwaldt in the Battle of Gross-Jägersdorf.
