Andrussovo Treaty
The Treaty of Andrussowo was an armistice concluded on January 30, 1667 between Poland-Lithuania and Tsarist Russia , which ended the Russo-Polish War 1654–1667 . As a result, he canceled, among other things, the territorial gains that Poland-Lithuania had achieved in the Treaty of Deulino 1618. The place of the contract was Andrussowo near the city of Smolensk .
The Rzeczpospolita recognized the Russian rule over the voivodships of Smolensk and Czernihów as well as the left bank Ukraine (east of the Dnepr ) including an area west of the Dnepr around Kiev (see: Voivodeship Kiev ), in the latter, however, only for two years. The territory of the Zaporozhian Cossacks was declared a Polish-Russian condominium . The treaty obliged both sides to jointly defend against the Ottoman Empire and its vassals, the Crimean Tatars .
The Treaty of Andrussovo ended centuries of Polish-Lithuanian dominance in Eastern Europe in favor of Russia. The agreement was confirmed under international law in the Eternal Peace of 1686 .
