Russo-Swedish War (1656–58)
The
Russo-Swedish War of 1656–1658
was fought by
Russia
and
Sweden
as a theater of the
Second Northern War
. It took place during a pause in the contemporary
Russo-Polish War (1654-1667)
as a consequence of the
Truce of Vilna
. Despite initial successes, Tsar
Alexis of Russia
failed to secure his principal objective—to revise the
Treaty of Stolbovo
, which had stripped
Russia
of the Baltic coast at the close of the
Ingrian War
.
