Sigismund, in the end, has not succeeded…

Sigismund, in the end, has not succeeded in becoming tsar or in securing the throne for Wladyslaw, but he has been able to expand the Commonwealth's territory.

The Truce of Deulino, which on December 11, 1618, concludes the Dymitriad's war, gives the Commonwealth control over some of the conquered territories, including the territories of Chernigov and Severia (Siewiersk) and the city of Smolensk, and proclaims a fifteen-year truce.

While the Commonwealth has gained some territories, in terms of money and lives it is a very costly victory.

Russia thus emerges from the war with its independence unscathed.
