After the Great Purge, the Tsarist Government devoted more energy to the negotiations, with Prusso-Russian discussions quickly reaching a crucial juncture.
The focal point of the disputes between the two sides centered on territorial cessions and indemnities. Compared to indemnities, ceding territory was actually easier to resolve.
The most serious Prusso-Russian controversy was over the East-West Prussia region, the stronghold of the Junker nobility; the Berlin Government dared not let go easily.

No matter how dissatisfied the Junker nobles were, they could not change the fact that the Kingdom of Prussia lacked the strength and was powerless to recover these regions.
