TRUCE OF DEULINO

Territories regained by Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth are marked with pink on the above map. Much of those territories, including the city of Smolensk, used to belong to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania before they were taken over by Muscovy in the 16th century.

Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth after the 'Truce of Deulino' in 1618 compared with today's borders

'Truce of Deulino' (also known as 'Peace' or 'Treaty of Dywilino'), was signed in 11 December 1618 and put in effect on 4 January 1619. It concluded the Dymitriad wars (also known as the Polish-Muscovite War (1605-1618)) between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Russian Tsardom. The Truce gave the Commonwealth control over some conquered territories, including the city of Smolensk (Smoleńsk Voivodship) and Czernichów Voivodship and proclaimed a 14 and a half year truce. Władysław, son of Commonwealth king Sigismund III Vasa , refused to relinquish his claim to the Moscow throne, even though his father had already done so.
In 1632, the Truce of Deulino expired, and hostilities were immediately resumed in the course of a conflict known as the Smolensk War, which ended in the Treaty of Polanów in 1635.
