The Treaty of Andrusovo (Polish Rozejm w Andruszowie, Russian: Андрусовское перемирие, Ukrainian: Андрусівське перемир'я, Andrusivs’ke Peremyr”ya) was a thirteen and a half year truce, signed in 1667 between Muscovy and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which were at war since 1654 over the territories of modern day Ukraine and Belarus. It was signed on January 30 by Afanasy Ordin-Nashchokin (Russia) and Jerzy Chlebowicz (Poland) in a village of Andrusovo not far from Smolensk. Poland agreed to cede the Smoleńsk and Czernihów Voivodships and acknowledged Russian control over the Left-bank Ukraine (Livoberezhna Ukrayina). Right-bank Ukraine (Pravoberezhna Ukrayina) and Belarus remained under Polish control. The city of Kiev had to remain with Russia only until 1669, but Russia managed to keep it by signing the Eternal Peace Treaty with Poland in 1686. The region of Zaporozhian Sich was declared to remain under a joint Russo-Polish condominium. The treaty also obliged both sides to common defence against the Ottoman Empire. In Russia, the Treaty of Andrusovo was generally praised as an important step towards unification of three East-Slavic nations, Ukrainians, Belarusians and Russians, within one state, the Russian Empire. In Ukraine the treaty is often viewed as leading to the partition of the Ukrainian nation between its more powerful neighboring states.
