The Greeks of Ukraine: From Antiquity to the Present

HSoM presents a Zoom lecture by Dr. Alexandros Kyrou, Professor of History and

Director of the Program in East European and Russian Studies at Salem (MA)

State University.

His talk will trace the long and continuous history of the Greek presence on the

north shore of the Black Sea, which predates by a millennium the arrival of the

early Slavs and the emergence of the Russian and Ukrainian peoples in this

area. Over 70 Greek settlements were established, which continued to flourish

through the Roman Empire, the Medieval Roman Empire (Byzantium) and

into modern times.
