Özet
In 1773 Russia reached the Danube River for the first time. In the following years, Petersburg permanently oriented itself towards the Balkans and began to conduct an active policy towards the Ottoman Orthodox Christians living here. The proposed study sheds light on the Russian migration policy towards Serbs, Montenegrins, Wallashians, Moldavians, Bulgarians, and Greeks in the second half of the 18th century, especially during the time of Catherine II. A connection is made between the territorial expansion of Russia to the south and the aspiration of the Russian empress to populate the new lands with foreign migrants, including from the Balkans. An attempt is made to delineate the nature, scales, dynamics, and main instruments for the implementation of migration. Giventhe opportunities for influence in the Ottoman possessions, special attention is paid to the propaganda that Russia spread among the Ottoman Christians during the period under review. This is extremely important because over time Orthodoxy became the political doctrine and state policy of the Russian Empire, in which Orthodox Christians living in the Ottoman state became a political weapon in the hands of Petersburg. This research uses official and unofficial Russian documents, as well as research-monographs, studies, and articles by Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Ukrainian, and Turkish scholars.
