    Προεπιλογή Odessa

    The Russian city of Odessos [Odessa] was a center of Hellenism from 1800 to about 1920. Many Greek merchants flourished there and some of them (notably Gr Maraslis or Marasleios Scholi fame) became major national donors and philanthropists.

    I am attaching here a longer document written by A Zografos of Odessa and printed in Skokos' Diary (Imerologion Skokou) in 1902. It is worth reading for its wealth of information about this city in the late 1800s but also about the contributions of her Greeks... There are also some very nice pictures in it.

    Προεπιλογή More on Greeks in Russia and the Russian trade" Part 1:Taiganion

    Thank you very much my friend Toxoti. We too enjoy your wonderful pictures of old Liners and other items! It sounds like we are the same age...

    I am appending below an excerpt from a Greek newspaper (I did not write down its name) that talks about ships coming to Piraeus from Russia in June 1905. The article mentions the uprising of Potemkin. Those not familiar with this very important page of the Russian history are urged to read at least http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles...emkin_uprising

    Of the cities mentioned, Taiganion (today's Taganrog, Таганро́г) was a very important city in the Greek-Russian history. Taiganion was on the very NE site of the Azof Sea, about 100 miles west of Rostov, therefore always in Russia and not in the Ukraine. In the beginning of the 20th century it had about 58,000 people (86,000 by 1928 ). The city had many Greeks and Jews and was a major commercial center. After the 1917 revolution, many Greeks remained in Taiganion and after 1922 many Pontians and other Greeks were added. The community is still active and the Greek ambassador in Moscow visited them just a year ago. Taganrog is also famous as the birthplace of Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), the beloved Russian playwright whose theatrical plays were extremely popular in Athens between 1945 and 1975, especially in performances by Dimitris Myrat and Voula Zoumboulaki.

    Here I show two postcards of the pre-revolutionary era showing Taganrog's theater and its (Russian Orthodox) cathedral of the Assumption (Analipsis)

    Taiganion Theater.jpg

    Of course the most famous Greek citizen of Taiganion was Ioannis Varvakis (Ivan Varvatski) who was known as a trader and then benefactor of Taiganion. His early contribution to the city was the Varvakios Mansion that became a Commercial School. The readers are reminded that Varvakis did the same in Athens establishing the Varvakios Scholi that was extremely popular as a high school in my days (is it still?). Here is the Varvakios Mansion in Taiganion in the 1870s!

    Προεπιλογή More on Greeks in Russia and the Russian trade" Part 2: Taiganion-Taganrog

    Taiganion (today's Taganrog, Таганро́г) was a very important city in the Greek-Russian history. Taiganion was on the very NE site of the Azof Sea, about 100 miles west of Rostov, therefore always in Russia.

    The city had a wonderful opera theater, built there in the 1860s for Italian opera. Its impressario was Gaetano Molla. Here is a playbill of Elena of Offenbach from the Taiganion Theater

    Two Greek sons of Taiganion became internationally known artists...

    First, the Russian tenor David Yuzhin (1868-1923) was born here (although Kutsch and Riemens do not disclose the birth place simply stating "born in Russia"). His name was Dimitrios Bandekos but the family took the Russian name for assimilation. As a youth he sang in church choirs. He was professionally trained in St. Petersburg. Like many of his contemporaries, he gained experience by appearing in Harkovo, Odessa and other cities, although probably not in Taiganion. In 1901 he joined the Bolshoi Theater where he met his future wife, Nataliya Yermolenko-Yuzhina, another famous soprano. Numerous of their 78 rpm records exist, many of them transcribed in CDs. This writer has written a biography of David Yuzhin http://www.che.utexas.edu/research/biomat/bio/extra.htm that can be obtained upon asking. Here is David Yuzhin-Bandekos as Lionel in Marta of Flotow.

    Yuzhin.jpg

    The second was Dimitrios Synodinos, known in Russian as Dmitri Sinodi-Popov (Дмитрий Минаевич Синоди-Попов), a major Russian painter (1855-1910), active in Paris during his last few years. His house is still seen in Taganrog (see below). A nice biography can be found in the Russian Wikipedia http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%...B2%D0%B8%D1%87
    His portraits of local Greeks are very well known: Portrait of Doctor Divaris, Greek Boy and An Old Greek

    The other city mentioned above is Nikolayev (Николаев, today's Mykolaiv in the Ukraine). Today a terrible city of 500,000 people, Nikolayev was a wonderful interior port located between Odessa and Crimea. She had about 75,000 people in 1905, going up to 101,000 in the census of 1926. See also http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9D%...81%D1%82%D1%8C)

    There was a small Greek community, very successful in trade and the arts. Here is the Duma in 1900. The city is best known to Greeks because of the success of the 7th syntagma of the Greek Army that (as part of the anti-bolshevik campaign) occupied Nikolayev from February 17 to 28, 1919.

    Therapia was a delightful little town north of Constantinople on the left bank of Bosporus. Known now as Tarabya, a paraphrase of the Greek name, Therapia was the weekend and summer home of the rich Fanariotes. The prettiness shown in this 1912 postcard can be felt even now, although the old houses (shown here as brand new with red roofs) are in rather dilapidated conditions.

    Tarabya can be reached from Constantinople by car, going north about 30 minutes after Bebek (where the famous Robert College (today's Boyazici University) used to be), although it may take 60 minutes during weekend traffic.

    In Therapia one could also find the miracle-giving icon (and church) of Aghia Paraskevi, which has now been transferred to the state of New York.
