EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print depicts the formal cession of Kiev to Russia, an event that took place in 1686. At the time, Kiev was a significant city in the Ukraine, which had long been under the influence of Russia. The city's history is complex and intertwined with that of both Poland and Russia. In the image, we see King Sobieski I of Poland, dressed in full regalia, standing before Tsar Fedor III of Russia. The two monarchs are shown signing the treaty that would officially transfer Kiev and its surrounding territories from Polish rule to Russian control. The event marked a turning point in the history of the region, as Kiev had been a part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth since the late Middle Ages. The background of the print shows the beautiful city of Kiev, with its golden-domed churches and sprawling architecture. The Dnieper River, which runs through the city, is also visible, adding to the picturesque scene. The cession of Kiev to Russia was a significant event in the broader context of European history. It marked the end of Polish control over the city and paved the way for Russia's expansion into the region. The event also underscores the complex political dynamics of Eastern Europe during this period, as various powers vied for influence and control over territories that were rich in resources and strategic importance. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of an important moment in the history of Kiev, Poland, Russia, and Europe as a whole. It is a reminder of the rich and complex history of this region and the many forces that have shaped its destiny over the centuries.
