Absztrakt (kivonat)

The military conflicts which have shaped the opening decades of the eighteenth century, such as the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1713/1714), the Great Northern War (1700–1721), and the Russo-Turkish War, also exerted a decisive influence on the foreign policy of the Rákóczi’s War of Independence (1703–1711). An important episode in this context was the establishment of Russo-Hungarian contacts in 1707, and the treaty concluded between Tsar Peter I. and Prince Francis II Rákóczi in Warsaw. Under these terms, Rákóczi’s first permanent representative at the court of Peter I. was Sándor Nedeczky (1654–1719). Born into an old lesser noble family, Nedeczky pursued legal studies and had previously served within the royal administration of Hungary. By the autumn of 1706, he had already become a devotee of Rákóczi. Speaking several languages, Nedeczky was dispatched to Russia in the autumn of 1707, where he carried out his diplomatic duties faithfully until the end of the War of Independence in 1711. He met and negotiated with the highest-ranking figures of the tsarist government (including the tsar himself and the chancellor), as well as with foreign diplomats and military officers. During his stay in Russia, Nedeczky also witnessed the everyday realities of the Great Northern War. The present study publishes substantial, previously unpublished diplomatic, political, and military details drawn from the reports and letters he sent to Rákóczi, during the „pre-Poltava” period (1707–1709).
