Abstract:

Considering the issue of prestige-building in the analysis of Catherine IIʼs imperial policy towards the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 1760s and 1770s allows for a better understanding and description of this policy. An example of the influence of prestige politics on political action is the issue of political and religious equality of dissenters in Poland-Lithuania, pushed by Russia. Between 1764 and 1768, Russiaʼs involvement in this issue was motivated by a combination of political factors (the intention to build a pro-Russian party in the Commonwealth composed of dissenters) and the prestige ones (the desire to create an image of Catherine II as a defender of dissenters). After the collapse of the system of Russian domination (1768–1772), prestige considerations remained the only factor that pushed Russia to uphold the equality enforced on the Commonwealth in 1768. Catherine IIʼs firmness hardened Russiaʼs policy by jeopardising an agreement with the Polish side, which consequently contributed to the decision on partition.
