Crimean campaigns of 1687 and 1689 (
Крымские походы in
Russian), military
campaigns of the Russian army against the
Crimean Khanate. They were a part of the Russo-Turkish War (1686–1700).
Having signed the
Eternal Peace Treaty with
Poland in 1686,
Russia became a member of the anti-Turkish
coalition ("
Holy League" -
Austria,
Venice and Poland), which had been fighting against the Turkish
sultan and its
vassal -
Crimean Khanate. In May of 1687, Russian army (approx. 100,000 soldiers), led by
knyaz Vasily Golitsyn, left
Ukraine together with the
Don Cossacks and cossacks from
Zaporozhye. When the Russians crossed the Konskiye Vody river, the
Crimean Tatars set the
steppes on fire, depriving Russian horses of pastures. As a result, the Russians decided to turn back on June, 17. The Cossacks and Golitsyn demanded from the Russian government to replace
hetman Ivan Samoilovich with
Ivan Mazepa, because Samoilovich had not approved the war with
Ottoman Empire and
Crimean Khanate.
In 1688, they started preparations for the second campaign. Poland began to negotiate peace with Turkey, therefore, transferring most of the burden of war to Russia. In early spring of 1689, the Russian army (approx. 150,000 soldiers) headed South. On May 15, the Russians collided with the
Crimean Tatars not far from the
village of Zelenaya Dolina. Russian army successfully repelled the attack and on May, 20 approached the
fortress of
Perekop. However, the Russians had to abandon the
siege in light of unfavorable
ratio of forces and retreat.
The Crimean campaigns of 1687 and 1689 diverted some of the Ottoman and Crimean forces in favor of Russia's
allies. However, the Russian army didn't reach the goal of stabilizing Russia's southern borders. The unsuccessful outcome of these campaigns was one of the reasons the government of
Sophia Alekseyevna collapsed.
