The main character of the artistic and documentary story by the famous Ukrainian writer Ivan Avramov "The Reverend. The sadness and bitterness of the exodus" - the last metropolitan of Gottheia-Kafaya, Ignatius, who led the exodus of Greek Christians (Rumeans) from Crimea to the desert lands of the Wild Field in the last third of the 18th century. More than 18 thousand people rushed to the difficult, bitter journey on carts, carts, carts, where only some of their household belongings fit. Empress Catherine II, on whose orders this large-scale resettlement was carried out, pursued several goals: firstly, she thereby weakened the economic power of the Crimean Khanate, where much depended on the Greeks - skilled farmers, cattle breeders, fishermen, skilled artisans, and conscientious taxpayers; secondly, she needed to populate the practically deserted Azov steppes; thirdly, this action increased and strengthened her reputation as a humane monarch in the eyes of enlightened Europe - this is how, they say, the queen protects Christians from the oppression of Muslims. According to the author, this was essentially the first forced deportation of an entire ethnic group in the history of the Russian Empire: people with tears, with great crying, left their inhabited lands for centuries, if not millennia, leaving their temples, the graves of their ancestors, their homes, farmsteads, gardens , high mountain pastures, workshops. The figure of the metropolitan, St. Ignatius of Mariupol, undoubtedly complex, contradictory, and sometimes tragic, was assessed differently at different times. In the minds of Ivan Avramov, Ignatius was a hostage to insurmountable circumstances. Why, the reader will become clear after reading the story. The "Greek stories" included in this book tell about the difficult fate, about the present-day present of the Azov Rumians - a small but resilient ethnic group that managed not to lose itself and preserve itself in cruel historical alterations.
