The number of Greeks living in Russia increased considerably in the nineteenthcentury, as they fled the various forms of oppression inflicted upon them in theOttoman Empire.At the beginning of the nineteenth century organised Greek communities startedto spring up, and they became increasingly active in the communal, commercial,ecclesiastic, educational, social, and cultural spheres.In the hospitable environment of the Russian Empire, "our brother the Greek",as the Russians called him, embarked upon a wide variety of activities in communitieswith special privileges (such as Ne2in) and in the Black Sea's free port of Odessa. Allthe Greeks enjoyed the official policy of "protection" and the special affection theaverage Russian felt for the enslaved Christians of the Balkans. It was in this climatethat the Filiki Etaireia, the Greek Philanthropic Society, and the Greek ImperialSubsidiary Committee began to function.This paper examines the activities of the Greek element from the end of theeighteenth century to the fourth decade of the twentieth century. Specifically, it looksinto the structure of the Greek communities within which the Greek merchants,artisans, landowners, teachers, clergy, scholars, academics, university professors,national benefactors, patrons of the arts, diplomats, consular and other civil servants,military and naval men, doctors, and masons lived and worked, and also includes withinits scope Greek literature published at the time, educational activity, and theatre.Constantine PAPOULIDISTHEMISTOCLES A.
