In 1806 an anonymous Greek book called for a republican government,
patterned upon that of the young United States, to be established
in Greece, then long the rule of the Ottoman Empire. The
“Americanization” of Greece presupposed independence. The
book’s author, Count John Capo d'Istria, was carried away by his
own version of the “American Dream,” but was also in touch with
another inspirational power, Russia, which made him its foreign
minister despite his attraction to the ideas of revolutionaries,
Russia’s Decembrists, who wanted democratic government in their
country. Capo d’Istria was only identified as the early author of
calls for a Greek Republic in the 2010s. In this revelatory new
book, Dimitris Michalopoulos follows his career and that of
Alexander Hypsilantis, a Greek who became a general of the Russian
army and tried to attract Russia’s interest in a democratic
revolution for Greece.
