MARIUPOL GREEKS
The website “Mariupol Greeks” was created to preserve and promote the historical and cultural heritage of the descendants of the Crimean Christians who have lived in the Nadazov region since 1779-1780.
Looking back at that history, one can conclude that the Mariupol Greeks represent one of the oldest ethnic communities residing in Ukraine prior to 2022.
