The Smolensk War (1632–1634) was fought between the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and Muscovy.
Hostilities began in October 1632 when Muscovite forces tried to capture the city of Smolensk. Small military engagements produced mixed results for both sides, but the surrender of the main Muscovite 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.
