Polish occupation of Moscow (1610 – 1612)

Описание: The Polish Occupation of Moscow (1610 – 1612) took place during the Polish–Russian War of 1609–1618 also known as the Polish–Muscovite War or the Dimitriads. At the beginning of the 17th century, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth was one of the European great powers, while the Tsardom of Russia had been experiencing the Time of Troubles. The hetman Stanisław Żółkiewski secured a decisive victory over Russia on 4 July 1610, at the Battle of Klushino, and Russian Tsar Vasili IV was ousted by a group of seven boyars. Żółkiewski entered Moscow with little opposition on 21 September, and the Seven Boyars proclaimed Władysław IV Vasa, the son of the Polish king Sigismund III Vasa, as the new Tsar of Russia. Russian people's militia led by Prince Dmitry Pozharsky and Don Cossacks retook the city in November 1612. The Zemsky Sobor elected Michael Romanov, the 16-year-old son of Patriarch Filaret of Moscow, tsar of Russia on 21 February 1613. The war against Poland continued until the 1619 Truce of Deulino, where Russia lost the Smolensk and Chernihiv Voivodeships.
