Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Radom Confederation was a konfederacja of nobility (szlachta) in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth formed in Radom on 23 June 1767 to prevent reforms and defend the Golden Liberties. It was formed as a response of Catholic nobility to the earlier Protestant confederations of S upsk and Toru , approximately 74,000 nobles declared their support for Radom Confederation. The marshal of the confederation was Karol Stanis aw "Panie Kochanku" Radziwi , another leader was the primate of Poland, Gabriel Podoski, but in fact the real leader was Russian ambassador Nicholas Repnin, who was also responsible for forming the Protestant and Orthodox confederations. On his insistence the confederates had to make peace with Polish king, pro-Russian Stanis aw August Poniatowski, and send an envoy to the Russian tsarina, Catherine the Great, asking her to protect the freedoms of the Rzeczpospolita (Commonwealth). He stirred the internat unrest in Poland in order to increase Russian control over Poland. After the 1767 Repnin Sejm, where Repnin de facto dictated the legislation the Polish parliament (Sejm), Russian control over Poland became much stronger.
