The memoirs of the French philhellene and participant in the Greek War of Independence Eugène (Eugene) de Villeneuve are published in their entirety in Russian for the first time. They are based on diary entries made by him during his stay in Greece and the Ottoman Empire in 1825-1826, as well as in Russia and Europe in 1826-1827.
The diary of the Greek Army Companymaster is interesting with descriptions of Tripolitsa, Navarin, Napoli di Romagna, Athens, and other places. The author not only draws portraits of such heroes of the Greek Revolution as A. Mavrokordato, D. Ypsilanti, T. Kolokotronis, K. Canaris, A. Miaoulis, S. N. Favier, M. Mavrogenus, but also shows the mood of the Russian elite regarding the ongoing war in Greece, predicting the impending intervention of the Russian Empire in this conflict. The memoirs are preceded by a biographical sketch of de Villeneuve's life and literary activities.
