After the Pereiaslavl Agreement of 1654
The Truce of Anrusovo was a long-lasting treaty that ended the Thirteen Years' War (1654-67) between Russia and Poland for the control of the Ukraine. In 1654, the Russian government accepted the Pereyaslav/Pereiaslavl agreement, a proposal to annex the Ukraine. This agreement was made by the Hetman of the Zaporag Cossacks, Bohdan Khmelnytsky, who had lead a revolt in the Ukraine against the Poles (1648-1654). After that war broke out between Russia and Poland. In 1664 peace negotiations began. Terms were made that favored the Russian point of view. The Ukraine was divided along the Dnieper river. Russian received the eastern portion, including the city of Kiev, and the provinces of Smolensk and Seversk. Poland kept the western shore.
