Abstract. The article analyzes the military and political situation that prevailed on the western and north-western borders of Russia in the middle of the XVIII century, before the start of the Seven Years’ War. Particular attention is paid to the geopolitical tasks, which were solved by the European states that formed a part of one or another opposing coalition. The author also emphasizes the fact that some countries of Western Europe, despite their alliance commitments to Russia, carried out dual policy in relation to it.
