A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Catherine the Great's audacious 'Greek Plan'—an 18th-century Russian scheme to resurrect the Byzantine Empire with her grandson Constantine as emperor. They discuss how this plan, rooted in the 1774 Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca, aimed to partition the Ottoman Empire and liberate Orthodox Christians in the Balkans. The conversation covers the role of Grigory Potemkin, the capture of Crimea, and the fortress of Ochakov. They also examine the plan's failure due to European power dynamics, particularly Austrian and British opposition, and its lasting impact on Balkan nationalism. The episode touches on the 'Eastern Question' and how Russia's ambitions sowed seeds for future conflicts in the region.
