An attempt to outline the life and work of Ioannis Kapodistrias
Kapodistrias’ great diplomatic and political skills, his personal talents, his selflessness, his great contribution to the liberated country do not need idealisation to be acknowledged. They emerge on their own from historical evidence and testimonies. This idealisation, sanctification even, which justifies all its government choices and parasitically or simply condemns any dissenting opinion or act, does not improve but damages his historical image. On the contrary, any unsubstantiated and one-sided criticism that focuses merely on his authoritarian or other choices without understanding the conditions that prevailed when Kapodistrias exercised power is unhistorical. Some thoughts will be expressed about the life and work of Kapodistrias: - How his personality was formed - His gradual progress in the Russian service - His role in the decisions of the great powers on the fate of post-war Europe - His personal life - His attitude towards the Philiki Etaireia and the Greek Revolution - His departure from the Russian service - His election as governor of Greece - His government policy. His ideology - Consents and reactions to this policy - The involvement of the three powers - The general changes in Europe in 1830-1831 and their impact on Greece - The deterioration in the relations between Kapodistrias and the opposition - His murder (Edited and translated description from organiser’s website)
