The Grand Duchy of Moscow had become the largest orthodox power after the conquest of Constantinople by sultan Mehmet II. his is where the ideology of the "Third Rome" appeared, Moscow considering itself, after Rome and Constantinople, the new center of Christianity, responsible for the redemption of the followers of orthodoxy, first from the Tatar and then from the Ottoman domination. Ivan III (1462-1505) stopped paying tribute to the Tatars (1480) and extended his influence over the territories of the former Golden Horde to Kazan and the Crimean Khanate. He married Zoe, one of the daughters of homas Palaiologos, the last despot of Morea, adopting the byzantine court ceremonial. His successor, Ivan IV, then took the title of Tsar (1547), the Slavic variant of emperor (Caesar, Kaiser). On October 1st, 1653, Zemski Sobor accepted the admission of Zaporozhian Cossacks under Russian administration. In Rada of Pereyaslav, the Zaporozhian Cossacks recognized, on January 8, 1654, the suzerainty of the Tsar. Therefore, a transformation in the system of alliances took place to the North of the Black Sea, thus paving the way to Russian domination. By the switch of Bohdan Khmelnytsky from the Polish side to that of the Tsar and the gradual inclusion of Ukraine by Russia, the latter will become a major power that will eventually conquer the Crimean Khanate, a large part of Poland, while Moldova and Wallachia will become the theatre of war between the Tsarist and Ottoman armies. The change in the balance of forces in Eastern Europe, following the battle of Poltava (1709), and Tsar's decision to send special agents and missionaries in those provinces of the Ottoman Empire inhabited by orthodox Christians strained the relations between the Ottoman Empire and Russia. The ultimatum issued by Peter the Great led to the declaration of war by the Ottoman Empire against Russia. At Stanilesti, the Ottomans and Tatars encircled the armies of the Tsar and those of Dimitrie Cantemir, the ruler of Moldova (July 18-21, 1711), the Tsar being forced to seek peace. In 1764, the army of the Tsar entered Poland, where it will constitute from now on a factor of pressure. Stanislaw Poniatowski, a close ally of the Tsar, was seated on the throne of Poland (1764-1795). A new era began in the relations between the Ottoman Empire and Russia, the latter, victorious in the war against the Porte between 1768 and 1774, gaining the right of navigation through the Black Sea and the Straits.
