Zusammenfassung
Explores how Russian politics and religion were instrumental in the shaping of modern Greece, providing a broad understanding of nineteenth-century Russian foreign policy and religious enterprise and the relationship between religion, nationalism, and state-building. Frary has examined for the first time a huge reservoir of unpublished Russian archives, which he situates alongside an impressive armoury of Greek sources to produce a meticulous and generally dispassionate account that challanges this conventional narrative.

Lucien Frary received a PhD in History from the University of Minnesota in 2003 and is now Associate Professor of History at Rider University in Lawrenceville, NJ. His main areas of interest are Mediterranean, Slavic, and Eastern Orthodox studies in the post-Byzantine era. He is the co-editor (with Mara Kozelsky) of Russian-Ottoman Borderlands: The Eastern Question Reconsidered and the author of articles and reviews in scholarly journals such as Russian History, Mediterranean Historical Review, Kritika, and Modern Greek Studies Yearbook. He is currently working on a monograph dealing with nineteenth-century Russian foreign policy through the biography of Count Grigorii A. Stroganov (1770-1857).
