Gudonov’s policy is generally pacific and always prudent.
He recovers from Sweden, through treaty in 1595, some towns lost during the former reign.
He had defeated a Tatar raid upon Moscow five years previously, for which he had received the title of Konyushy, an obsolete dignity even higher than that of Boyar.
He supports an anti-Turkish faction in the Crimea and gives the emperor subsidies in his war against the sultan.
