Monument to the politician Photo of the monument to Venizelos. Thessaloniki. Eleftherios Kyriakou Venizelos, (August 23, 1864, Crete (then the Ottoman Empire) - March 18, 1936, Paris) - Greek politician, several times held the post of Prime Minister from 1910 to 1933. Venizelos's views periodically fluctuated, from liberal republicanism to conservative monarchism. Venizelos was one of the organizers of the Second Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922), which was unleashed in violation of the Armistice of Mudros. Venizelos counted on assistance from the Entente countries, which in reality was provided in a very small volume, and underestimated the strength of the Turkish troops under the command of Kemal Ataturk. Greece suffered a serious defeat, which led not only to the loss of significant territory by the Greeks, but also to a humanitarian catastrophe - the genocide of the Pontic Greeks who lived in Turkey before the war (approximately 1.5 million were killed or expelled from their native lands). In 1935, after the conservative general I. Metaxas, a long-time opponent of Venizelos, came to power, he was forced to leave the country, and many of his supporters were arrested or killed. He died in exile in Paris, and was buried with honors in Crete. The main air gateway to Greece, Athens Airport, is named after Venizelos.

Saint John the Russian. Prokopi Evia, 1989-1990
Nea Prokopion Since 1924, this place has become known throughout Greece and the Orthodox world as the resting place of the holy relics of Saint John the Russian, who died in Turkish slavery. This saint is loved not only by the Orthodox all over the world, but also by the Turks themselves. Saint John was a soldier in the Russian army that fought under the banner of Peter in the Turkish campaign of 1711. Twenty-one years old, a peasant by birth, he, like many others, was captured by the Turks. He was destined to live the rest of his life as a slave in a foreign land. The captured soldier Ivan was bought at the slave market by one of the commanders of the Turkish cavalry, who lived in the village of Prokopion. They tried to force the newly acquired slave to accept Islam. But the Russian soldier firmly answered his master that he would rather die than renounce his Faith. And if he was not hindered in the confession of his faith, then he would willingly carry out all orders. The owner respected John's firmness. He was put to care for the horses and soon entrusted with the rich owner's stable, over which he was made the head. The owners loved their servant and allocated him a room in their own house, but John preferred to sleep in the stable, where nothing interfered with his ascetic way of life and prayer. Not far from the house there was a small Orthodox church built in honor of St. George. Here, in the vestibule of the church, John spent nights in prayer, and every Saturday he received the Holy Mysteries. One day the owner went on a pilgrimage to Mecca. His wife, having learned that her husband had safely reached Mecca, arranged a thanksgiving feast in the village. Remembering that her husband loved the pilaf that was served at the holiday, she expressed regret that her husband could not try it. John, who was serving at the feast, approached the hostess and asked for a plate of pilaf for the host. Everyone around laughed, but the hostess fulfilled the servan
