Treaty of Tyavzino

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Treaty of Teusina (known as the Eternal Peace with Sweden in Russia) was concluded by Russian diplomats under boyar Afanasiy Pushkin (the poet's ancestor) and ambassadors of the Swedish king at the village of Tyavzino (Finnish: Täyssinä) in Ingermanland on May 18, 1595 to end the Russo-Swedish War, 1590-1595 between the powers. The treaty revised the provisions of the Truce of Plussa, which were much less favourable to Russia. Sweden got Narva and eastern Estonia with Reval (making the whole of Estonia Swedish). Muscovy received most of Ingermanland (Ivangorod, Jama and Koporye) and Kexholm. In effect, the treaty restored borders predating the Livonian War. The Swedish-Russian border was delineated from the outstream of Systerbäck in the Gulf of Finland, over the lakes Saimaa and Enare lake, over Neugdona (Näätämö / Neiden) on the Kola Peninsula and up to the Murman Sea.
