The siege of Moscow was the last major military action of Wladyslaw IV's campaign of 1617–1618 and the entire Polish-Muscovite War (1605–1618). 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.
