Abstract

An endeavour is made to trace the pattern of pénétration by the Greek
élite into the Russian military and civil services, the medical and teaching
professions, letters, and the arts. The findings point to a process of cluster
formation related originally to the chain-migration of Ionians and Phanariots
in such areas as medicine and the diplomatie service.
An impressive cluster of générais and admirais also appears to be connected
with Catherine II’s “Greek Corps of Cadets”, set up in the context
of her “Greek Project”.
In the nineteenth Century these groups seem to hâve been swelled by the
Russian-educated offspring of Greek merchants.
