"Οι Έλληνες της στέππας" -Άρθρο της Washington Ρost
Galina Chumak, director of the Donetsk Regional Arts Museum, says it's foolish to be proud of her Greek heritage but she can't help it. Here she stands before a 1952 painting in the museum called "Moving In," which features a proud Soviet family and a portrait of Josef Stalin, who died the next year. He killed 20,000 Soviet Greeks.

Galina Chumak is proud to be Greek, however foolish she knows that pride may be. It wasn’t anything she did, she points out, just the circumstance of birth into what may be Ukraine’s oldest existing ethnic group. The Greeks arrived in present-day Ukraine before the Tatars, before the Russians, before the Jews, possibly even before the Ukrainians themselves.
They were settlers from the civilization that we think of today as ancient Greece. They came to the Crimea — a dramatically mountainous peninsula that juts into the Black Sea — in the 5th century B.C., or maybe even the 7th, or just possibly, says Chumak, who once worked on archaeological digs there, the 9th. That would be before Homer got around to composing “The Iliad”and “The Odyssey.”Irony Catherine the Great
