metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Zhdan Ivanovich Kvashnin set out for his diplomatic mission to the Holy Roman Empire in
  1577 as a second-rank ambassador with official and secret goals, especially in general to the maintaining of
  Ivan the Terrible’s peaceful relations with Emperor Rudolph II and to advocate a military alliance with the
  latter to draw him into the war against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Crossing Europe Zhdan and
  his comrades, representatives of the Muscovite ruler, also had to hire European artisans for Ivan IV. Secret
  contacts of the ambassadors with Albrecht Laski and Hans Rueber were aimed at the military alliance with the Emperor to prepare a war against Stefan Batory and the restitution of the Moldavian throne. A wide
  range of sources led the authors to the conclusion that the mission was for the most part successful. The
  materials concerning the Muscovite embassy are added as appendices of the present article. These materials
  found in Vienna Archive and commented consist of Kvashnin’s „speech“, two credentials and Rudolph II’s
  recommendations letter for Johann Paulus for his travel to Ivan the Terrible. Besides, all available evidence
  on Zhdan Kvashnin’s biography has been collected and interpreted.
