Years: 1582 - 1582
January

Ivan at last asks Pope Gregory XIII to intervene in the Livonian War, and through the mediation of his nuncio, Antonio Possevino, an armistice with Poland-Lithuania is concluded on January 15, 1582, ending a quarter-century of warfare over Russian access to the Baltic, which it has been unable to gain.

Under its terms Russia loses all its gains in Livonia.
