Russian Army, 100,000 General Selivanoff Austrian Army, 120,000 General Kusmanek The most spectacular victory in the Eastern theater of war during the year 1915 was the Russian capture of the town and fortress of Przemysl, in Galicia.
The Russians had laid siege to this fortress in September, 1914, but the investment had been broken on October 15th, and additional Austrian troops had been rushed to the defense of the town.

After the fall of the fortress towns of Jaroslav and Chyrow, the Russians were enabled to renew the siege on November 12, 1914. The fortress was then defended by a garrison of 120,000 men, under command of General von Kusmanek, and the Russian besieging force of 100,000 was directed by General Selivanoff.

On the day of the outbreak of the First World War the fortress of Przemyśl consisted of varied fortification complexes from different periods of time. Beginning with the obsolete artillery entrenchments from the mid-19th century, throughout artillery forts from the 1880s, to modern armoured forts from the turn of the 19th century. This was the result of a long duration of the construction of the fortress as well as the development of technology and engineering during that period and consequent modification of the art.of fortifications.
