The siege of Smolensk of 1514 took place during the fourth

Muscovite–Lithuanian War (1512–1520).[1]

The growing and strengthening

Grand Hetman Konstanty Ostrogski
repelled the attack. Another four-week siege followed in August–September 1513.

In May 1514, Vasili III again led his army against Smolensk. This time the Russian army included a number of artillerymen, brought from the

Voivode of Smolensk
, agreed to surrender on 30 July 1514. Vasili III entered the city the next day.

The Lithuanians won a great victory in the

Polish–Muscovite War (1605–1618). In 1654 it returned
to Russian Empire.
