This article examines the diplomatic preparation of Mikhail Romanov for the Smolensk War of 1632–1634, which took place during the pan-European Thirty Years War, which covered the period from 1618 to 1648. The motives and goals of diplomatic relations between the Russian Kingdom, Sweden and the Ottoman Empire are investigated. The article analyzes the mutual political rivalry between the Swedish leader Gustav II Adolf and the Polish ruler Sigismund III, which eventually contributed to the rapprochement and cooperation between Moscow and Stockholm. In conclusion, the authors come to a number of conclusions, in particular, the goal pursued by Mikhail Romanov in diplomatic relations with the Ottoman Empire during the Smolensk War, to stop the invasion of the Crimean Tatars and, if possible, to get help against the Poles. In turn, negotiations with Sweden turned out to be beneficial for both sides, in foreign trade affairs, during these years Russia sold cheap and tax-free food and other goods only to Swedes. The authors also note that as a result of Mikhail Romanovs skillful diplomacy carried out during the 30-year war, the military system of the Russian Kingdom moved to the next stage of development.
