The '''Truce''' or '''Treaty of Yam-Zapolsky''' (Ям-Запольский) or '''Jam Zapolski''', signed on 15 January 1582 between the [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]] and the [[Tsardom of Russia]], was one of the treaties that ended the [[Livonian War]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Baliulis|first1=Algirdas|title=Lietuvos Didžiosios Kunigaikštystės ir Maskvos valstybės diplomatiniai santykiai XVI a. pabaigoje|publisher=Lietuvos istorijos institutas|location=Vilnius|url=http://mokslozurnalai.lmaleidykla.lt/publ/0235-716X/2002/3/L-03.pdf}}</ref> It followed the successful [[Livonian campaign of Stephen Báthory]], culminating in the [[siege of Pskov]].

The truce was concluded with help of [[papal legate]] [[Antonio Possevino]] and was signed for the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth by King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania [[Stefan Batory]] and for Russia by [[Tsar]] [[Ivan the Terrible]], and established a ten-year [[truce]].

In the terms of the treaty, Russia renounced its claims to [[Livonia]] and [[Polotsk]] but conceded no core Russian territories as Batory returned the territories his armies had been occupying (particularly, he gave up on the [[siege of Pskov]] and left the town of [[Velikiye Luki]]. The [[truce]] was extended for twenty years in 1600, when a [[diplomatic mission]] to Moscow led by [[Lew Sapieha]] concluded negotiations with Tsar [[Boris Godunov]].  The truce was broken when [[Polish–Russian War (1609–1618)#Background|the Poles invaded Russia in 1605]].

One of the principal negotiators on the Polish side was [[Krzysztof Warszewicki]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last=FERRING|first=ROBERT L.|date=1960|journal=The Polish Review|volume=5|issue=2|pages=98–109|issn=0032-2970|jstor=25776309|title=Christopher Varsevicius: Polish Renaissance Diplomat, Statesman, and Political Writer}}</ref>
