A groundbreaking account of the Vanished kingdom1 of the PolishLithuanian Commonwealth, which reveals its many achievements before its final destruction From ιηγι to 1795·, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was at the crux of international politįcs. It was surrounded by Russia, Prussia and Áustria, all of which were determined to ensure the Commonwealth stayed weak. Yet even though he was himself placed on the throne by Catherine the Great, King Stanisław August sought deep reform and refused to serve Russia’s interests. Richard Bufterwick tells the compelling story of the last det ades of one of Kurope’s largest and least understi и к! polities. Drawing on the latest research, he vividly portrays the turbulence the Commonwealth experienced. Despite the best efforts of the reformers, by Ī795· the Commonwealth would be entirely annexed by its neighbours. But far from being a failed state, it did successfully overcome the stranglehold of Russia and, for a short time, regain its sovereignty. Its crowning success, which took place on ļ May 1791, was the passing of the first Constitution of modem F urope.
