The Treaty of Nystad was the peace treaty between the Tsardom of Russia and the Swedish Empire that put a termination to the Great Northern War of 1700–1721. It was signed on August 30 (September 10) of 1721 in the town of Nystad (presently Uusikaupunki in the composition of Finland).

The treaty changed the Russian-Swedish frontier, previously established by the Treaty of Stolbovo of 1617. Sweden recognized the transfer of Livonia, Esthonia, Ingria, and a part of Karelia (so called Old Finland) and other territories to Russia. Russia undertook to return occupied Finland to Sweden and pay it a monetary compensation.

The victory in the Northern War forwarded Russia into the ranks of major European states.

In 1735, to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the Russian victory over the Swedish army in the Northern War at Poltava won on the day of St. Sampson the Hospitable, fountain Samson (full name Samson, Tearing the Lion’s Jaws) was installed in Peterhof.

The postal stamp provides an image of the Samson fountain on the territory of the Peterhof State Museum-Reserve.
