| Summary: | Includes bibliographical references and index Lucien J. Frary provides the first comprehensive examination of Russian reactions to the establishment of the autocephalous Greek Church, the earliest of its kind in the Orthodox Balkans, and elucidates Russia's anger and disappointment during the Greek Constitutional Revolution of 1843, the leaders of which were Russophiles. Employing Russian newspapers and "thick journals" of the era, Frary probes responses within Russian reading circles to the reforms and revolutions taking place in the Greek kingdom. More broadly, the volume explores the making of Russian foreign policy during the reign of Nicholas I (1825-55) and provides a distinctively transnational perspective on the formation of modern identity. Introduction -- Russia and the movement for Greek independence -- From anarchy to absolutism -- Autocephaly and facets of orthodoxy -- The Russian ecclesiastical mission and the defense of orthodoxy -- Secret societies, armed rebellions, and oracular prophecies -- Absolutism under siege -- Conclusion |
