A Treaty of Perpetual Peace (also "Treaty of Eternal Peace" or simply Perpetual Peace,
Vasily Vasilyevich Golitsyn. These parties were incited to cooperate after a major geopolitical intervention in Ukraine on the part of the Ottoman Empire.[1]
The treaty confirmed the earlier
Siverian lands, cities of Chernihiv, Starodub, Smolensk and its outskirts were also ceded to Russia, while Poland retained Right-bank Ukraine. Both parties agreed not to sign a separate treaty with the Ottoman Empire.[2] By signing this treaty, Russia became a member of the anti-Turkish coalition, which comprised Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Holy Roman Empire and Venice. Russia pledged to organize a military campaign against the Crimean Khanate, which led to the Russo-Turkish War (1686–1700)
.
The treaty was a major success for Russian diplomacy. Strongly opposed in Poland-Lithuania, it was not ratified by the
Convocation Sejm (1764).[5]
The borders between Russia and the Commonwealth established by the treaty remained in effect until the First Partition of Poland in 1772.
