This book provides the first comprehensive examination of the Grand Embassy of 1615–1616 led by Prince I. M. Vorotynsky and the peace negotiations with the commissars of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Muscovite state sought recognition of Mikhail Romanov's royal title, the return of the tsar's father, Metropolitan Filaret, from captivity, and the preservation of the occupied city of Smolensk. The Polish-Lithuanian side asserted Prince Vladislav's right to the Moscow throne and demanded further territorial concessions. The negotiations were mediated by a representative of the Holy Roman Empire, who figuratively described the dispute over the two sovereigns as a clash of "fire and water." The book's vivid source quotations offer insight into the thinking and actions of the Muscovite ambassadors and commissars of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the importance of the Boyar Duma in diplomatic decision-making, and the persistent struggle for recognition of the authority of Tsar Mikhail Feodorovich. Based on documents from the Ambassadorial Prikaz archive and the Article List of the Embassy of 1615–1616, this book describes the course of the ambassadorial congresses and the discussions of the terms of the failed peace. The appendix includes the author's discovery of the "List of the Moscow treasury," which was plundered during the presence of a foreign garrison in Moscow in 1610–1612.

This book is intended for anyone interested in the history of diplomacy and Russia's emergence from the Time of Troubles in the early 17th century.
