Minin and Pozharsky
The war was the first major sign of the rivalry and uneasy relations between Poland and Russia which last to this day. Its aftermath had a long-lasting impact on Russian society, creating the negative stereotype of Poland in Russia and, most notably, giving rise to the Romanov dynasty which ruled Russia for three centuries until the February Revolution in 1917. It also left a noticeable mark on Russian culture, with renowned composers and writers portraying the war in works such as "A Life for the Tsar" by Mikhail Glinka, "Boris Godunov (opera)" by Modest Mussorgsky, "Boris Godunov (play)" by Alexander Pushkin, "Pan Voyevoda" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov as well as films "Minin and Pozharsky" and "1612".
