The immediate task of the new dynasty…

The immediate task of the new dynasty is to restore order.

Fortunately for Muscovy, its major enemies, Poland and Sweden, are engaged in a bitter conflict with each other, which provides Muscovy the opportunity to make peace with Sweden in 1617 and to sign a truce with Poland in 1619.

After an unsuccessful attempt to regain the city of Smolensk from Poland in 1632, Muscovy makes peace with Poland in 1634.

Polish king Wladyslaw IV, whose father and predecessor Sigismund III had manipulated his nominal selection as tsar of Muscovy during the Time of Troubles, renounces all claims to the title as a condition of the peace treaty.
