Background. On the way to "Eternal Peace"

After the death of the childless Tsar Fyodor Alekseevich, the Miloslavsky boyars, led by Sophia, organized the Streletsky revolt. As a result, on September 15, 1682, Princess Sophia, the daughter of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, became regent for the young brothers Ivan and Peter. The brothers' power almost immediately became nominal. Ivan Alekseevich was sickly and incapable of governing the state since childhood. Peter was small, and Natalya and her son moved to Preobrazhenskoye to protect themselves from a possible blow.

Princess Sophia in historical, popular science and fiction often presented in the image of a peasant-like woman. The appearance, according to the French Jesuit de la Neuville, was ugly (although he himself did not see it). She came to power at the age of 25, and the portraits convey to us the image of a somewhat plump, but pretty woman. And the future Tsar Peter described Sophia as a person who “could be considered perfect both physically and mentally, if not for her boundless ambition and insatiable thirst for power.”

Sophia had several favorites. It was Prince Vasily Vasilyevich Golitsyn - he received the Ambassadorial, Discharge, Reitar and Foreign orders under his command, concentrating in his hands enormous power, control over foreign policy And armed forces. Received the title of “Treasurer of the Royal Great Seal and State Great Ambassadorial Affairs, Close Boyar and Governor of Novgorod” (in fact, the head of the government). Management of the Kazan order (this government agency carried out administrative, judicial and financial management territories, mainly in the southeast Russian state) received cousin V.V. Golitsyna - B.A. Golitsyn. The Streletsky order was headed by Fyodor Shaklovity. A native of the Bryansk boyar children, who owed his rise only to Sophia, he was infinitely devoted to her (apparently, like Vasily Golitsyn, he was her lover). Sylvester Medvedev was elevated, becoming the queen's adviser on religious issues (Sophia was on cold terms with the patriarch). Shaklovity was " faithful dog» queens, but almost everything public administration was assigned to Vasily Golitsyn.

Golitsyn is one of the controversial figures in Russian history. Some consider him the “forerunner” of Peter, almost a true reformer who conceived the whole range of reforms carried out in Peter’s era. Other researchers dispute this opinion. The facts suggest that he was a “Westernizer” of that time, a “Gorbachev-type” politician who perceived praise from the West as the highest value. Golitsyn admired France, was a Francophile, and even forced his son to wear a miniature of Louis XIV on his chest. His lifestyle and palace corresponded to the best Western models. The Moscow nobility of that time imitated the Western nobility in every possible way: the fashion for Polish clothes continued, perfume came into fashion, a craze for coats of arms began, it was considered the highest chic to purchase a foreign carriage, etc. Noble people and rich townspeople, following the example of Golitsyn, began to build houses and palaces Western type. Jesuits were allowed into Russia, and Chancellor Golitsyn often held closed meetings with them. Catholic worship was allowed in Russia - the first one was opened in the German settlement Catholic Church. There is an opinion that Sylvester Medvedev and Golitsyn were supporters of the union of Orthodoxy with Catholicism.

Golitsyn began sending young men to study in Poland, mainly to the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. There they taught not the technical or military disciplines necessary for the development of the Russian state, but Latin, theology and jurisprudence. Such personnel could be useful in transforming Russia according to Western standards.

But Golitsyn’s most significant achievements were in the field of diplomacy, during domestic policy the conservative wing was too strong, and the queen restrained the prince’s reformist ardor. Golitsyn negotiated with the Danes, Dutch, Swedes, and Germans, and wanted to establish direct relations with France. At that time, almost the main events of European politics revolved around the war with Ottoman Empire. In 1684, the Holy Roman Emperor, King of the Czech Republic and Hungary Leopold I sent diplomats to Moscow, who began to appeal to the “brotherhood of Christian sovereigns and invited Russian state join the Holy League. This alliance consisted of the Holy Roman Empire, the Venetian Republic and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and opposed the Ottoman Empire in the Great Turkish war. Moscow received a similar proposal from Warsaw.

A war with the mighty Ottoman Empire at that time was not in Russia’s interests. Poland and Austria were not our allies. Only in 1681 was the Bakhchisaray Peace Treaty concluded with Istanbul, which established peace for a 20-year period. The Turks recognized Left Bank Ukraine, Zaporozhye and Kyiv as Russia. Russia has significantly strengthened its position in the south. The Turkish Sultan and the Crimean Khan pledged not to help the enemies of Russia. The Crimean Horde pledged to stop raids on Russian lands. In addition, Türkiye did not take advantage of the series of unrest in Rus' and the struggle for power in Moscow. At that time, it was more profitable for Russia not to get involved in a direct battle with Turkey, but to wait for its weakening. There was plenty of land for development.

But the temptation to enter into an alliance with the Western powers turned out to be too great for Golitsyn. The great Western powers turned to him and invited him to be their friend. The Moscow government set only one condition for joining the " Holy Alliance"for Poland to sign the "eternal peace". But the Poles indignantly rejected this condition - they did not want to give up Smolensk, Kyiv, Novgorod-Seversky, Chernigov, and Left Bank Ukraine. Thus, the Polish side itself pushed Russia away from the “Holy League”. Negotiations continued throughout 1685. In Russia there were many opponents of joining this union. Many boyars opposed participation in the war with Turkey.

Hetman of the Zaporozhian Army Ivan Samoilovich was against the union with Poland. Ukraine lived only a few years without the annual raids of the Crimean Tatars for food. The hetman pointed out the treachery of the Poles and that if the war with Turkey was successful, Orthodox Christians, freely practicing their faith under the domination of the Turks, would be placed under the authority of the Pope. In his opinion, Russia had to stand up for the Orthodox, who were subjected to persecution and desecration in the Polish regions, and take away the ancestral Russian lands from Poland - Podolia, Volyn, Podlasie, Podgorye and all of Chervona Rus. Patriarch Joachim of Moscow was also against the war with Turkey (he was in the camp of opponents of Princess Sophia). At that time, an important religious and political issue for Ukraine was being resolved - Gideon was elected Metropolitan of Kyiv, he was confirmed by Joachim, and now the consent of the Patriarch of Constantinople was required. This event could be disrupted in the event of a quarrel with the Ottoman Empire. All the arguments of Samoilovich, Joachim and other opponents of the alliance with the Poles, the Pope and the Austrians were swept away. True, the question remained with the Polish side, which stubbornly refused “eternal peace” with Russia.

At this time, the situation on the fronts and the foreign policy situation became more complicated for the Holy League. The Porte quickly recovered from defeats, carried out mobilizations, and attracted troops from Asian and African regions. The Turks took Cetinje, the residence of the Montenegrin bishop, but were soon forced to retreat. Turkish troops attacked the most vulnerable link of the “Holy League” - Poland. Polish troops were defeated, the Turks threatened Lvov. This forced the Poles to take a different look at the need for an alliance with Russia. The foreign policy situation of the Holy Roman Empire became more complicated: the French king Louis XIV decided to take advantage of the fact that Leopold I was bogged down in a war with Turkey and developed vigorous activity. Leopold enters into an alliance with William of Orange and begins negotiations with other sovereigns to create an anti-French coalition. The Holy Roman Empire faces the threat of war on two fronts. Austria, in order to compensate for weakening forces in the Balkans, has intensified diplomatic efforts towards Russia and mediation between Moscow and Warsaw. Austria is also increasing pressure on the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, John III Sobieski. The Pope, the Jesuits and the Venetians worked in the same direction. As a result, Warsaw was put under pressure through joint efforts.

« Eternal Peace»

At the beginning of 1686, a huge Polish embassy of almost a thousand people, led by the Poznan governor Krzysztof Grzymultowski and the Lithuanian chancellor Marcian Oginski, arrived in the capital of Russia for imprisonment. Russia was represented in the negotiations by Prince V.V. Golitsyn. The Poles again began to insist on their rights to Kyiv and Zaporozhye. True, the fact that the negotiations dragged on played into the hands of Patriarch Joachim and Samoilovich. At the very last moment, they were able to obtain the consent of the Patriarch of Constantinople to subordinate the Kyiv Metropolis to Moscow.

An agreement with Poland was reached only in May. On May 16, 1686, the Perpetual Peace was signed. Under its terms, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth renounced its claims to Left Bank Ukraine, Smolensk and the Chernigov-Seversk land with Chernigov and Starodub, Kyiv, Zaporozhye. The Poles received compensation of 146 thousand rubles for Kyiv. Northern Kiev region, Volyn and Galicia remained part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The southern Kiev region and Bratslav region with a number of cities (Kanev, Rzhishchev, Trakhtemirov, Cherkasy, Chigirin, etc.), i.e. lands that were severely devastated during the war, were supposed to become neutral territory between Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Russian Kingdom. Russia broke treaties with the Ottoman Empire and Crimean Khanate, entered into an alliance with Poland and Austria. Moscow pledged, through its diplomats, to facilitate the entry into the “Holy League” of England, France, Spain, Holland, Denmark and Brandenburg. Russia pledged to organize campaigns against the Crimean Khanate.

“Eternal Peace” was promoted in Moscow (and is considered such in most historical literature) as Russia’s greatest diplomatic victory. Prince Golitsyn, who concluded this agreement, was showered with favors and received 3 thousand peasant households. But if we think rationally, it becomes clear that this agreement was a big geopolitical mistake. The Russian state was drawn into someone else's game. Russia did not need a war with Turkey and the Crimean Khanate at that time. Russia entered into a war with a serious enemy and paid a large sum for the fact that the Polish side recognized for Russia those lands that had already been recaptured from Poland. The Poles could not return the land military force. Constant wars with the Russian state, the Ottoman Empire and internal squabbles undermined the power of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Poland was no longer a serious threat to Russia - in just a century (a short period in historical terms) it would be divided by neighboring great powers.

The agreement was personally beneficial to Sophia. He helped establish her status as a sovereign queen. During the fuss raised about the “eternal peace,” Sophia appropriated to herself the title of “All Great and Other Russia Autocrat.” The obverse of the coins still depicted Ivan and Peter, but without the scepters. Sophia was minted on back side- wearing a royal crown and a scepter. The Polish artist paints a portrait of her without her brothers, but in Monomakh’s hat, with a scepter, an orb and against the background of a sovereign eagle (all the prerogatives of the king). In addition, a successful military operation was supposed to rally the nobility around Sophia.

FROM THE ANDRUSOV TRUNCE TO “ETERNAL PEACE”

At first glance, this [Andrusovo] truce could be called very unreliable: Kyiv was ceded to Moscow for only two years, and yet it was easy to see that it was very dear to Moscow, that Moscow would make every effort to keep it behind itself. But surprisingly, the war did not resume until the second half of the XVIII century, and the Andrusovo truce passed into eternal peace with all its conditions preserved. In vain did the Poles console themselves with the thought that in the second half of the 17th century the same test was sent to their homeland as was sent to Moscow at the beginning of the century, and that Poland would emerge from it as happily as Moscow: for Poland, from 1654, a long period began. , almost a century and a half agony, caused by internal weakening, decay; in 1667 the great struggle between Russia and Poland ends. From then on, Russia’s influence on Poland increased gradually without any struggle, due only to the gradual strengthening of Russia and the uniform internal weakening of Poland; The Andrusovo truce was a complete calm, a perfect completion, according to the old expression. Russia put an end to Poland, calmed down about it, stopped being afraid of it and turned its attention in a different direction, began resolving those issues on which the continuation of its historical existence depended, questions about transformations, about acquiring new means for the continuation of historical life. Thus, the Truce of Andrusovo also serves as one of the boundaries between ancient and new Russia.

CONCLUSION OF "ETERNAL PEACE"

At the beginning of 1686, noble royal ambassadors, the Poznan governor Grimultovsky and the Lithuanian chancellor Prince Oginsky, arrived in Moscow. Seven weeks, Prince Vas. You. Golitsyn and his comrades argued with Grimultovsky and Oginsky; The ambassadors, not agreeing to the proposals of the boyars, had already declared the negotiations interrupted, bowed to the kings, prepared to leave and again resumed negotiations, “not wanting, as they said, to abandon such a great, glorious, profitable business and lose their labors.” Finally, on April 21, all disputes ceased and eternal peace was concluded: Poland ceded Kyiv forever to Russia, the great sovereigns pledged to break the peace with the Sultan of Tours and the Khan of Crimea, immediately send their troops to the Crimean crossings to protect Poland from Tatar attacks, order the Don Cossacks to repair the military trade on the Black Sea, and in the next 1687 send all his troops to the Crimea. Both powers pledged not to conclude a separate peace with the Sultan. In addition, it was decided that Russia would pay Poland 146,000 rubles as a reward for Kyiv; to the places on the western bank that remained with Kiev behind Russia, to Tripoli, Stayki and Vasilkov, five versts of land were added; Chigirin and other devastated cities down the Dnieper, which were transferred from Russia to Turkey in the last world, are not supposed to be renewed. Orthodox Christians in Polish regions are not subject to any oppression from Catholics and Uniates; Catholics in Russia can worship only in their homes.

“ETERNAL PEACE” AND RELATIONS WITH POLAND AND LITHUANIA

But the final connection in the 16th century. Lithuania and Poland put Poland against Moscow. Moscow had to give in to their united forces: Ivan’s fight against Stefan Batory was unsuccessful. Even worse for Moscow was the time of the Moscow Troubles at the beginning of the 17th century, when the Poles owned Moscow itself. But when they were forced out and Moscow state recovered from the turmoil, it was in the middle of the 17th century. (from 1654) begins the old struggle for Russian lands subordinate to Poland; Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich takes Little Russia as his citizenship, wages an unusually difficult war for it and ends in a brilliant victory. Weakened Poland, even after Tsar Alexei, continues to yield to Moscow: with the peace of 1686, it gives to Moscow forever what it temporarily ceded to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. The relations created by this world of 1686 were inherited by Peter; under him, the political dominance of Russia over Poland is clear, but the historical task - the liberation of Russian lands from Poland - was not completed either before him or under him. It dates back to the 18th century.

“Eternal Peace” 1686, treaty between Russia and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, concluded on May 6 (16) in Moscow. Having confirmed the terms of the Andrusovo Treaty of 1667, “V. m." forever assigned to Russia the city of Smolensk with its environs, Left Bank Ukraine with Kiev, Zaporozhye and Seversk land with Chernigov and Starodub. The Orthodox population of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth received the right to free religion. Russia pledged to join the anti-Turkish coalition, consisting of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Austria, Venice and Rome, and to oppose Turkey and its ally, the Crimean Khan. Due to its obligations, Russia undertook 2 campaigns in Crimea - in 1687 and 1689. “V. m." regulated relations between Russia and Poland and served as the basis for the future of Russian-Polish. Union in the Northern War of 1700-21, facilitated the struggle between Russia and Sweden for access to the Baltic Sea. “V. m." reflected the new balance of power in the international. arena, played a role in the struggle of the peoples of the East. Europe against Tur.-Tat. aggression.

for influence in border regions. The agreement secured the strengthening of Russia and the return of part of Ukraine and Smolensk to it.

In 1654-1667. Russia and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth were in a state of exhausting war. The powers fought over the border lands that each country claimed. The Perpetual Peace with Poland of 1686 was a treaty that confirmed the outcome of this conflict. In fact, it duplicated the provisions of the document signed in the village of Andrusovo in 1667. If the first treaty was only a temporary 13-year truce (which was recorded in one of the points), then the Perpetual Peace with Poland in 1686 secured the reconciliation of the two countries and their political rapprochement.

According to the agreements reached, Russia received Novgorod-Seversky, Smolensk, and Kyiv (located on the right bank of the Dnieper). For Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich at one time this was a real historical triumph. He returned lands that were once part of a single Old Russian state. They were annexed to Lithuania when the East Slavic principalities were fragmented and not consolidated. At the end of the 14th century. The rulers of Vilna entered into a union with Poland, after which Moscow, and then Russia, received a powerful force on its western borders.

Reunification with Ukraine

It was especially important that the Eternal Peace with Poland in 1686 returned Smolensk to Russia. This city was first conquered from Lithuania Vasily III, and then lost again during the Time of Troubles. With the restoration of stability in Russia, the Romanovs found themselves on the Moscow throne. The second king from this dynasty - Alexei Mikhailovich - now restored historical justice, and under his daughter Sophia it was consolidated.

In the second half of the 17th century, Polish Ukraine began to be shaken by uprisings of local nationalists who gravitated towards Moscow. Their leader was Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky. The long-term struggle ended only when the Perpetual Peace was concluded with Poland. The year 1686 became a holiday date for Ukrainians. Their conflict with the Poles was based on confessional (some were Orthodox, while others were Catholic) and linguistic differences.

Division of Cossack lands

Nevertheless, Poland retained Right Bank Ukraine. The division only widened the gap between the two parts of the country, the border between which became the Dnieper. Consolidating new political situation things in the region contributed to the Perpetual Peace with Poland (1686). The result of lengthy negotiations was that it became a buffer between the two powers. It was an important region in which free Cossacks lived. The atamans and their armies were reliable protection from the Ottoman Empire, which was increasing its influence in the Black Sea region.

Türkiye became the very force that contributed to the rapprochement between Poland and Russia and the conclusion of their mutual peace treaty. In 1672, when the negotiations in Andrusovo had already ended, and it was still unclear how the situation would develop, the Muslims captured Kamenets-Podolsky, which previously belonged to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. After this, the Turks began to systematically attack Cossack lands located in the zone of Russian interests. It became clear that it was time for the two Christian countries to smooth out their own differences and join forces in the fight against the Ottoman threat.

Turkish threat

The Turks continued to fight throughout Europe. In 1683, they even tried to besiege Vienna, the capital of Austria, and a powerful general coalition against Istanbul began to take shape. which was in the most vulnerable position, previously did not want to acknowledge the results last war with Russia, after which the Romanovs returned Smolensk and other important Russian lands.

But in the new conditions, when the south suffered from raids by the Turks and Tatars, the monarchy decided to reconsider its attitude towards agreements with Moscow. Central government, sensing the approaching denouement, even convened the last in the history of the country in the capital Zemsky Sobor. At its meeting the terms of the Eternal Peace with Poland in 1686 were to be discussed.

Signing the contract

The final stage of negotiations with the Poles occurred during the regency of Queen Sophia, the eldest daughter of Alexei Mikhailovich. She placed her favorite, Prince Golitsyn, at the head of the Ambassadorial Prikaz. He, in direct contact with the foreign delegates sent, insisted that Russia would join the anti-Turkish alliance only if the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth finally confirmed the terms of the previous Andrusov Treaty.

These proposals were accepted. The royal ambassadors decided not to bargain when their country was on the verge of ruin due to the war with the Turks. Thus the Perpetual Peace was agreed upon with Poland (1686). Where is this important sign signed? national history document? He was imprisoned in Moscow on May 6. According to the agreements, Russia joined the union European countries who fought with the Ottoman Empire. In 1687 and 1689, famous events took place, headed by the same Prince Golitsyn.

Treaty of Perpetual Peace between Russia and Poland. 1686

1686 On May 6 (April 26, old style), Eternal Peace was concluded between Russia and Poland

“The Eternal Peace of 1686 was concluded on the 6th of V between Russia and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. - Since the Treaty of Andrusovo in 1667, Poland has repeatedly made attempts to conclude an alliance with Russia against Turkey. The Moscow government was also interested in creating an anti-Turkish alliance and, back in the early 70s, took diplomatic steps in this direction. War of 1676-81 with Turkey strengthened Moscow’s desire to create such an alliance. However, repeated negotiations on this issue have failed; One of the most important reasons for this was Poland's resistance to the Russian demand to finally abandon Kyiv. With the resumption of the war with Turkey in 1683, Poland, allied with Austria and Venice (since 1684), developed lively diplomatic activity in order to attract Russia to the anti-Turkish league. At the beginning of 1686, a special embassy arrived in Moscow, headed by the Poznan governor Krzysztof Grzymultowski and the Lithuanian chancellor Marcian Oginski. From the Russian side, negotiations were conducted by V.V. Golitsyn. Golitsyn exploited the urgent need for Russian assistance for Poland and managed to turn the Russian demand for the final consolidation of Russia's acquisitions in Ukraine into a precondition for alliance negotiations. The negotiations ended with the signing of a treaty on “Eternal Peace” and an alliance of both states against Turkey.

"Eternal Peace" confirmed territorial changes, produced under the Andrusovo Treaty. Poland abandoned Kyiv forever, having received compensation of 146 thousand rubles for this. Russia broke off relations with the Porte and had to send troops to Crimea. The "Eternal Peace" of 1686 guaranteed freedom of religion for Orthodox Christians in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and recognized Russia's right to present representations in their defense. The Treaty of 1686 became valid immediately, but it was ratified by the Polish Sejm only in 1710. "Eternal Peace" regulated Russian-Polish relations and thus freed Russia's hands in the fight against the Turkish-Tatar threat. At the same time, “Eternal Peace” contributed to the final formation of the anti-Turkish coalition in Europe.”

History in faces
