ResumoAbstract Russian consular dispatches contain vivid descriptions of life in the nineteenth-century Ottoman Balkans. Besides war and diplomacy, Russian archival materials provide historians with insight on nationalism, religion, and society. The long-lasting struggle for Greek independence (1821–31) created unprecedented challenges for Russian officials in Ottoman domains. Tsarist envoys played a mediating role in issues over territories, prisoners of war, religious conversions, and refugee relief. In the context of Russian–Ottoman nineteenth-century relations, this article shows that Russian agents worked to protect the rights of Orthodox Christians and promote commercial, cultural, and political connections. It reveals the sometimes contradictory nature of tsarist policy, based on legitimism and reactionary conservatism, yet supportive of movements for independence among Orthodox Christians.

The Greek War of Independence: Its Historical Setting, London: Hutchinson's University Library. [Google Scholar], The Greek War of Independence, 135, claims Agostino's 'assertive folly led to the resignation of Sir Richard Church, the one man capable of ensuring that the Greeks enjoyed at least de facto occupation of the disputed areas'. Philips Philips, W. Alison. 1897. The War of Greek Independence, 1821 to 1833, London: Smith, Elder & Co.. [Google Scholar], The War of Greek Independence, 294–5, describes Agostino in highly negative terms and accuses President Kapodistrias of alienating the people by his proclivity for compatriots 'of the same semi-Venetian Corfiot aristocracy'; Finlay, History, 2: 207, labels Agostino as 'really little better than a fool' and a 'miserable creature'; Lane-Poole Lane-Poole, Stanley. 1890. Sir Richard Church, London: Longmans. [Google Scholar], Sir Richard Church, 71, writes, Agostino 'can only be described as a contemptible fool … the puny nonentity who happened to be the brother of John Capodistrias'. 49.

[Google Scholar], Epitomi tis istorias, 3: 85–90, ascribed the relatively harmonious peace-making process to Paparrigopoulos; Papadopoulou, I epanastasi, 128–30, notes that Paparrigopoulos, 'well known among Turkish educated men in the area', enjoyed the confidence and respect of the Ottoman authorities; Vakalopoulos, Istoria, 8: 120, 347, underscores his pivotal role and longstanding relationship with the Turkish leaders. 52. An exception is William Meyer, the British consul at Preveza, with whom Paparrigopoulos worked closely. In the summer of 1831, the two men made an excursion deep into Ottoman territory in order to persuade Grand Vizier Mehmed Reşid Pasha to protect hundreds of Greek families and captives taken during the rebellion. An extensive correspondence between Paparrigopoulos, Rikman, Meyer, and Mehmed Reşid Pasha is contained in AVPRI, f. 165/2, op. 507, d. 163 (1831), ll. 32–73.
