The Treaty of Moscow of 1920 - a peace treaty between Lithuania and Soviet Russia , which was signed on July 12, 1920 in Moscow . The treaty was the result of the Soviet-Lithuanian armed conflict (1918-1919).
Basic Information
The treaty was prepared in the conditions of the rapid advance of the Red Army in the territories of modern Lithuania and Belarus occupied by Poland in the summer of 1920, during the Soviet-Polish war . According to him, the Lithuanian-Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic (Litbel) was legally liquidated. [1] ; the state border between the RSFSR and Lithuania was determined; Significant territories with the cities of Grodno , Shchuchin , Oshmyany , Smorgon , Braslav , Lida , Pastavy , as well as Vilna region with Vilna were recognized as part of Lithuania. These territories were part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the 13th — 18th centuries, but at the time of the signing of the treaty, the territories around Grodno, Schuchin, Oshmyany, Smorgon, Braslav, Lida and Postavy were populated mainly by Belarusians , Poles and Jews . The treaty guaranteed the neutrality of Lithuania during the Soviet-Polish war and secured the right flank of the troops of the Western Front of the Red Army during its attack on Warsaw . The Lithuanian side pledged to cease throughout its territory the activities of " anti-Soviet organizations and groups," including the bodies of the former Belarusian People's Republic .
In accordance with this treaty, in August 1920, the Soviet side transferred Lithuania to Vilna , which was occupied on July 20, 1920, and became the capital of an independent Lithuania. After the defeat of the Red Army near Warsaw at the end of August 1920, Polish troops occupied all the territories that were the subject of the Moscow Treaty, but the treaty did not lose its relevance.
In 1921, the Riga Peace Treaty was concluded, which established the border between the Soviet republics ( RSFSR and Ukrainian SSR ) and Poland . However, in this agreement the border established by the RSFSR with Lithuania under the agreement of July 12, 1920 was not disputed - the RSFSR recognized the border with Poland, which was several dozen kilometers east of the border established between the RSFSR and Lithuania. That is, officially the RSFSR recognized only a narrow corridor between these borders by the Polish possessions. In 1926, in the Treaty between the USSR and Lithuania, this border was confirmed.
