Wikipedia, viewed 24 July 2007 (Polish-Muscovite War (1605-1618) The conflict is often referred to by different names, most common of them is the Russo-Polish War, with the more modern term Russia replacing older term Muscovy. In Polish historiography, the wars are usually referred to as the Dymitriady: the First Dymitriad (1605-1606) and Second Dymitriad (1607-1609) and the Polish-Muscovite War (1609-1618), which can subsequently be divided into two wars of 1609-1611 and 1617-1618, and may or may not include the 1617-1618 campaign, which is sometimes referred to as Chodkiewicz [Muscovite] campaign) OCLC (viewed 24 July 2007) (NUKAT hdg.: Wojna polsko-rosyjska (1609-1618)) Encyclopedia Britannica online, viewed 24 July 2007 (Treaty of Deulino (December 1618), agreement suspending the hostilities between Poland and Russia that resulted from Polish intervention in Russia during the Time of Troubles (1606-13). In 1609, during the unstable reign (1606-10) of the Russian tsar Vasily Shuysky, the Polish king Sigismund III declared war on Muscovy. His army laid siege to Smolensk (September 1609), and Sigismund tried to place his son Wladyslaw on the Muscovite throne. In August 1610 the leading Muscovite boyars accepted Wladyslaw and opened their city's gates to the Polish troops; but Sigismund, deciding that he wanted the Russian throne for himself, resumed the war against Muscovy. His troops burned much of Moscow and occupied Smolensk. Nevertheless, a Russian army captured Moscow, and a zemsky sobor named Michael Romanov the new tsar (1613). Wladyslaw then launched a new campaign against Russia (1617-18). The Truce of Deulino, which concluded Wladyslaw's campaign, placed Smolensk, as well as other conquered western Russian territories, in Poland's possession) |
