Ah, so the sculpture was built to commemorate when the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth forces were driven out of Moscow by Kuzma and Dmitri's forces who I'd imagine counter-attacked the Poles and Lithuanian forces which drove them from the city. Well, I learned something new today, Heh, and thanks for telling me!
