The Philhellenic Tendency in Russian Policy in the Orthodox East (1878‑1917)

The article argues that Panslavism was not the only theoretical base of Russian policy in the Middle East and the Balkans in the second half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. Both edited and archival sources clearly demonstrate the evolution in Russian political thought after the Crimean war. Sporadic and rather latent, the philhellenic tendency of the 1850s slowly shifted to a clearly articulated neo-Byzantinist imperialistic concept in the 1880s, concurring with the famous Greek “Megali Idea”. Another wing of Russian philhellenes openly recognized the Greek primacy in the Orthodox world. This idea survived until WWI, with a vast variety of forms, from serious historically based treaties to utopian phantasies. L’article soutient que le panslavisme n’était pas le seul fondement théorique de la politique russe au Moyen Orient et dans les Balkans dans la deuxième moitié du xixe et le début du xxe s. Les sources, aussi bien publiées qu’archivistiques, montrent clairement l’évolution de la pensée politique russe après la Guerre de Crimée. Sporadique et plutôt latente, la tendance philhellène des années 1850 cède graduellement sa place à un concept impérialiste néo-byzantin clairement énoncé dans les années 1880, coïncidant avec la fameuse « Megali Idea » grecque. Une autre tendance chez les philhellènes russes a reconnu ouvertement la primauté grecque dans le monde orthodoxe. Cette idée a survécu jusqu’à la Première Guerre mondiale, sous une large variété de formes, allant des démarches historiques sérieuses aux fictions utopiques.
