Summary / Abstract (Note) | THE GREAT NORTHERN WAR (1700-1721) created a new balance of power in the Baltics and made the Finnish file part of czarist Russia's foreign policy agenda. Having defeated Sweden, the Russian Empire got access to the Baltics and control over the coastal stretch between Riga and Vyborg. Under the Treaty of Nystad (1721), the state border between Russia and Sweden crossed the territory of the Grand Duchy of Finland that belonged to the Kingdom of Sweden. It was from that time on that the Finnish Question became an inalienable and component part of czarist policies.
