Collections of Articles and Reports

The “Collections” section within the “Bibliography” chapter includes publications dedicated to both the Crimean and Nadazov periods of the history and culture of the Mariupol Greeks. It features works primarily from the 20th and early 21st centuries, though there are some from the late 19th century. These publications are organized into four groups:

1. Biographical Collections – containing articles on the lives and achievements of notable Greeks in Ukraine, as well as their researchers.
2. Historical and Cultural Collections – focusing on complex issues of ethnic history and culture of the Greeks in what is now Ukraine, covering periods from antiquity to the present day.
3. Conference Proceedings – primarily shorter papers (abstracts and occasionally full papers with limited references), covering a broad range of topics, including archaeology, biography, source studies, history, culture, linguistics, pedagogy, and political science.
4. Folklore and Literary Collections – representing folklore and original works by Mariupol Greeks, along with relevant research.

Within each group, the collections are arranged alphabetically, based on the Cyrillic alphabet, with foreign-language publications at the end of each list. Note that some publications may appear in multiple groups.

For those researching the Crimean period of the Mariupol Greeks’ history and culture, we recommend consulting 19th and early 20th-century collections, such as the Notes of the Odesa Society of History and Antiquities (1844 – 1916, 33 volumes, original title: Записки Одесского общества истории и древностей, or ЗООИД (ZOOID) and Proceedings of the Tauride Scholarly Archival Commission (1897–1920, 57 issues, original title: Известия Таврической ученой архивной комиссии, or ИТУАК (ITUAK). These publications include source material and research that remain relevant and  scholarly valuable today. Researchers studying the Nadazov period are encouraged to explore collections of periodicals and conference materials produced by faculty at Donetsk State University and Mariupol State University. Collections published after 2013 in the territories of Ukraine under temporary occupation or in the Russian Federation are included in a separate subsection.

The listed works reflect various ideological perspectives from different historical periods, including Russian (imperial, “Russkiy Mir”), Soviet (communist), Ukrainian, or Greek-centered. Some of these works were published by researchers, local historians, and politicians who are now suspected or already accused of collaborationist activities. However, their publications contain valuable factual material regarding the Greek community, making them useful for political, sociocultural, and historiographical studies. We leave it to the researcher’s discretion to assess the relevance of these sources.

We encourage researchers to remain objective, adhere to academic ethics, and critically assess the conclusions, evaluations, and commentary presented in these works.

These lists are not exhaustive. We hope to expand this section in the future with additional publications in foreign languages.
