The signatories were Tsar Peter I and the person acting on behalf of King August II of Poland Johann Patkul. The contract was done in secret negotiations in the settlement Preobraschenskoje before the gates of Moscow. That case involved the formation of an alliance, the " Northern League " against the superpower Sweden under King Charles XII. , In which Russia, Denmark and the ruled in personal union states of Poland and Saxony should connect.

Patkul was author of all these considerations that led to the Great Northern War. He had a few months earlier attempts to form an alliance between Denmark and Brandenburg, together with August the Strong materialize. But had Elector Friedrich III. no interest. Russia, however, could get used to the thought experiment of a planned weakening of the Swedish position in the Baltic region.
