The Russia. Missiia (Greece) Collection documents the activities of the Russian Mission in Athens, Russian consulates, and
Russian refugee organizations in Balkan countries and in Turkey from 1874 until 1925. The Russian Mission and consulates represented
the Russian Imperial Government until the February Revolution of 1917 and the Russian Provisional Government thereafter. The
mission and consulates continued to be considered representatives of the Russian Provisional Government even after the latter
was overthrown by the Bolsheviks in October 1917. They were closed by March 1924 when Greece recognized the USSR.
