By placing the Greek 1821 in a broader spatial context, beyond the usual Western-centric one, this book highlights anew and with a critical eye the historiographically neglected Russian/Eurasian perspective. It studies the multi-layered intercultural relations of the Greek-speaking Orthodox subjects of the Ottoman Empire with the Russian Empire during the so-called Age of Revolutions and examines the multiple threads that connect a local phenomenon, the revolution of 1821, with regional and global processes. Central here is the concept of Empire, which presupposes, among other things, a transnational perspective and offers a medium scale of study between the local and the global. Thus, Russia appears not only as a great power of the same faith as the insurgents but also as a hybrid modern empire, with a significant European, Eurasian, and global role. This role concerning the Greek-speaking Orthodox of the High Gate is examined at three different times: 1770 (long duration), which marks the beginning of the Russian presence in the Mediterranean and its significant importance in further historical processes in the region; 1815 (medium duration), which marks the policies of Alexander I and his close associates in building post-Napoleonic Europe; and, finally, the first year of the Greek Revolution, 1821 (conjuncture), where Russian diplomacy—with dynamic Greek-speaking individuals in its service, such as Ioannis Kapodistrias, Alexandros Stourtzas, and the network of Greek-speaking Russian consuls in the revolutionary areas—largely sets the terms for the perception of the Greek struggle in the international field as a national war aiming at liberation from the "infidel yoke."
