Summary/Abstract: The treaty of Küçük Kaynarca was signed by Russia and the Ottoman Empire in 1774. According to the peace-treaty, Moscow succeeded to achieve their own desire to get political potency in the territory of the cove of the Black Sea. From that time the question of the future of the Ottoman Empire was the case at issue, and in this question Russia had various plans about Porte's division. In the treaties, I tried investigate, at how the plans of the tzars (Chatherine II, Alexander I, Nicholas I and Alexander II) appear in the peace-treaties. Also I tried to search, what motivations the tzars had for territories.
