Section A
Answer Question 01.
Extract A
The objectives of Russia’s foreign policy towards Turkey arose from its geographical and
political situation. The objectives were also influenced by traditional friendships and
enemies. To the south, Russia had been defending itself for centuries against the
Tatars of the Crimea. So, looked at from a Russian point of view, Catherine’s wars
against the Turks were the fulfilment of aims they had long had. The Treaty of Kutschuk 5
Kainardzhi in 1774 opened up vast areas of economic development in the south of
Russia. The annexation of the Crimea in 1783 was the final subordination of the
descendants of Genghis Khan. The annexation also allowed Russia to become a naval
power on the Black Sea. The peace of Jassy in 1791 consolidated Russian control of
the estuary of the Dnieper. This opened the way for the development of other major
Black Sea ports, such as Odessa. These Black Sea ports became outlets for the grain 10
trade. To this extent therefore, Catherine’s achievement was fully in line with traditional
Russian aims.
