Nope 10k of pows were released, which was criticised, especially by the Russian diplomat Torshinsky. It's funny to read lie built on another lie from your side xD And I actually know about civilian casualties, but they were killed not under the orders of Suvorov there was an indiscriminate and uncontrolled mess after the battle imposed by cossacks. But we are talking about the battle and the battle was won, having even numbers with the defenders, you are trying to show some red herring here.

I haven't found any info about ''colonel Lieven'' in the Russian content, there is only General Levin who has never fought in the Suvorov's army and in 1794 he was 14 years old. May I inquire what exactly regiment he commanded by?

The colonel was next made the comendant of Praga. Maybe somthing similar? There are often problems coming from transcription of cyrilic into latin alphabet.
