| Summary / Abstract (Note) | DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS between Greece and Russia are 192 years old. But long before they were established, our countries were connected by strong bonds based on shared cultural and spiritual traditions, as well as on their shared history. Those who have been in the Kremlin and had an opportunity to see the fantastic frescos and paintings there know that these relations go back to the Byzantine era and the inception of Russian ethnicity. During the period of Ottoman yoke, many Greeks found refuge in co-religionist Russia, where they settled down and did well in commerce, arts and education. Others proved their worth in serving the Russian state in very high positions of authority. |
