This book takes us back a hundred years in history and records the events of that time, when the hatreds and passions of society were at their peak, and the Greeks were heading towards destruction, with no one able to halt this course.

The statistical recording of the thriving Greek community in Odessa on the northwest coast of the Black Sea is impressive, as documented at the end of the book, which essentially vanished after the Bolsheviks' rise to power in Russia and the successful divisions of the political leaderships of the Greek state.
