Treaty of Plussa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Plussa (Russian: Плюсское перемирие 1583) was in fact a truce between Russia and Sweden, which ended the Livonian War of 1558-1583.
The truce was signed at a location on the Plussa River (Pskov region) and intended for three years (it was prolonged in 1585-1586). According to this truce, Sweden kept the annexed Russian towns of Ivangorod, Yam, Koporye, and Korela with their uyezds. Russia kept a narrow passage to the Baltic Sea at the estuary of the Neva River (between the rivers of Strelka and Sestra).
Upon the expiration of the truce in 1590, Russia resumed the war against Sweden to retrieve Narva and other Baltic lands, annexed by the Swedes. Beginning in 1593, Russia and Sweden resumed peace negotiations, which would last for two years. Finally, the two countries signed the Treaty of Tyavzino in 1595.
