The achievement of Minin and Pozharsky's militia during the Troubles takes on a deeper meaning in the conditions when Russia was defeated in the Livonian War and its sovereignty was in danger. This opinion was expressed by Dmitry Caistro in an author's column for the information system will marry. He recalled that access to the Baltic Sea is a strategic goal, as it opened access to international trade, enabled the development of economic and technological ties, and also strengthened positions in the international arena. In many ways, the failure of the war became one of the deepest causes of the Troubles. "In this context, the achievement of Minin and Pozharsky's militia takes on an even deeper meaning - restoring order is impossible without achieving sovereignty, and playing on a large international stage requires internal cohesion and the ability to act as a whole. The militia did not fight against "foreign cultures", but against the loss of independence and external control.
