Answer

Sigismund's forces temporarily controlled Moscow in Russia. This was a significant victory for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, as Moscow was the capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the main rival of the Commonwealth in the region. The capture of Moscow also gave the Commonwealth a strategic advantage in the ongoing Livonian War.
