The Smolensk War (1632–1634) was a conflict fought between the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and Russia.
Hostilities began in October 1632 when Russian forces tried to capture the city of Smolensk. Small military engagements produced mixed results for both sides, but the surrender of the main Russian force in February 1634 led to the Treaty of Polyanovka. Russia accepted Polish–Lithuanian control over the Smolensk region, which lasted for another 20 years.

The siege failed and the subsequent Treaty of Polianovka, which ended the Smolensk War in 1634 [...] This defeat ended Muscovy's initial attempt to convert to Euro-Ottoman-style strategy.
