He facilitated negotiations that led to the conclusion of a treaty of an alliance with #Courland and in 1658 the Treaty of Valiesar with #Sweden which left #Russia in the positions of the territories that it had conquered in #Livonia during the #SecondNorthernWar for three years. Moreover, Russia promised not to carry out mass deportations of Lutherans from these territories. Two years later, in 1660, he also participated in the negotiations leading to the peace of #Kardis that turned the Valiesar treaty into a permanent peace. (5/6)
