  1. Greeks in Ukraine

    Refimprove date January 2010 A Greeks Greek presence throughout the Black Sea area existed long before the beginnings of Kievan Rus . For most of their history in this area, the history of the Greeks in Russia and in Ukraine forms a single narrative, of which a division according to present day boundaries would be an artificial anachronism. Greeks established colonies on what are now the Ukraine Ukrainian shores of the Black Sea as early as 6th century B.C.

New territory was assigned for the Greeks between today s cities of Mariupol and Donetsk , and basically comprises all the southern portion of Donetsk Oblast of Ukraine. Ukrainians and Germans were settled among the Greeks, and afterwards Russians. Ukrainians mostly settled villages and partly towns in this area, unlike the Greeks, who rebuilt their towns, even giving them their original Crimean names. Since this time in Ukraine names of settlements in Crimea match names of places in southern Donetsk Oblast Yalta Yalta, Gurzuf Urzuf, etc. During the Soviet era, Crimean Greeks were expelled after the Second World War.

  1. Greeks in Uzbekistan

    There are approximately 9,000 ethnic Greeks in Uzbekistan . The community is made up of Greeks from Russia who were deported by force from that country to Uzbekistan in the 1940s, and political refugees from Greece . About 30,000 Greeks lived in the country before World War II and a further 11,000 arrived after the Greek Civil War . Their numbers have dwindled from a high of some 40,000 in the 1960s. The main reason is emigration to Greece after the end of the Cold War when laws allowed the return of all ethnic Greeks who had been exiled for political reasons after the Greek Civil War. The biggest Greek community in the country is in the capital city of Tashkent where most of the Greek political refugees were relocated by the Soviet authorities. ref http www.cacianalyst.org ?q node 515 Greeks in Uzbekistan ref In ancient times the south of the country was part of the Hellenistic Seleucid Kingdom but the few Greek communities there have since assimilated. ref http mfa.uz eng about uzb history Uzbekistan MFA Alexander the Great ref The most important organization representing ethnic Greeks is the Greek Cultural Association of Tashkent.
