His secret ambition, however, was to carve out for himself a separate state composed of ancient lands of Kievan Rus. This intention was made public by his rival Janusz Zabrzeziński, a voivod of Troki. On ascending the Lithuanian throne, Sigismund I dismissed him from his posts. Having heard about the news, Glinski procured Zabrzeziński's assassination and started an armed rebellion against the king. In 1508, Michał and his two brothers defected with their army to Muscovy, where Grand Duke Vasily III made him a boyar and married his niece, Helena Glinska.

Michał served with distinction in various conflicts of Russia with Lithuania and the Tatars, particularly in the taking of Smolensk in 1514. He still hoped that Vasily would make him an appanage duke, with all semblance of an independant sovereign. Upon realising that this could not be, he entered secret negotiations with Sigismund in order to return to Lithuania. The conspiracy was disclosed, and Michał taken to prison, where, waiting for execution, he returned to the Orthodox faith of his forefathers.

Vasili also took advantage of the difficult position of Sigismund of Poland to capture Smolensk, the great eastern fortress of Lithuania (1512), chiefly through the aid of the rebel Lithuanian, Prince Mikhail Hlinski, who provided him with artillery and engineers.
The loss of Smolensk was an important injury inflicted by Muscovy on Lithuania in the course of the Russo-Lithuanian Wars and only the exigencies of Sigismund compelled him to acquiesce in its surrender (1522).
In 1526, despite much opposition from the clergy, he divorced his barren wife, Solomonida Saburova, and married Princess Elena Glinskaya, the daughter of a Serbian princess and niece of his friend Mikhail Hlinski.
