The re-establishment of Greek-Soviet relations in 1924
Main Article Content
Abstract
After the October Revolution, the Greek government severed its relations
with Russia. In fact, in order to ensure British and French support for Greek
national claims at the Paris Peace Conference, Venizelos actually declared
himself willing to send an expeditionary force to the Ukraine in January 1919
to assist the Allies in their efforts to overthrow the Bolsheviks. However, five
years later, in 1924, Greece renewed its relations with Soviet Russia. It is the
purpose of this article to examine and analyse the circumstances that compelled
the Greek government to recognise the Soviet Union.
