The siege of Moscow was the last major military action of Władysław IV Vasa's campaign of 1617–1618 and the entire Polish–Russian War of 1609–1618. During the short siege, which lasted several weeks in the autumn of 1618, an assault of the city was unsuccessful. Having failed, the Polish-Lithuanian government went to the conclusion of the Truce of Deulino.
