Years: 1515 - 1515
Hetman Konstanty Ostrogski had entered Vilnius in triumph in December 1514.
To commemorate the victory over the Muscovites, two Orthodox churches are erected: the Church of the Holy Trinity and the Church of Saint Nicholas, which remain among the most impressive examples of Orthodox Church architecture in Lithuania.
Immediately after the victory, the Polish–Lithuanian state starts to exploit the battle for its propaganda aimed at other nations in Europe, with the intent of improving the image of Poland-Lithuania abroad.
Several panegyrical accounts of the battle are sent to Rome.
