The article states that, after the massacres on Chios in 1822, women and children were transported as captives to the slave markets of Smyrna and Constantinople. It invoked a letter sent that spring from Constantinople by Dutch diplomat Gaspar Testa, in which he described captured children and women from Chios, some of whom had papers with the name and address of their owners. According to the post, by May 1, 1822, more than 41,000 slave ownership documents, known as "teskeredes," had been issued. The article mentioned that, according to the French-language newspaper of Smyrna, Spectateur Oriental, by May 10, customs duties for about 40,000 slaves had been paid at the city's customs. It also cited English sources, stating that the population of Chios before the destruction was approximately 110,000: about 20,000 fled or remained on the island to cultivate mastic, approximately 45,000 were killed, and the rest were sold as slaves. The post stated that the attack began on March 30, 1822, and that, according to the orders attributed to the Sultan, boys aged 3–12 and women aged 12–40 would be captured, while the others would be slaughtered. It described rapes, torture, and murders of civilians, as well as women who committed suicide or resisted to avoid capture. Citing the account of the priest Welsh from the English embassy in Constantinople, the article noted that about 500 women from Chios were sold in the fish market and that their prices ranged from 100 groats to 3 pounds per person. It added that similar scenes unfolded in Smyrna, where women and children were transported in chains and sent to the homes of those who had bought them. Finally, it cited Chian journalist Panagiotis Xenakis and "The Machine of Time," mentioning that the island remained devastated for years after 1822. #Χίος #ΕλληνικήΕπανάσταση #Σκλαβιά (translated)

Amalia claimed that the Bulgarian occupation in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace continued from September 9 to October 26, 1944, with the complicity of the EAM. She wrote that this period was omitted by leftist historiography and that, after the communist-controlled Patriotic Front took power in Bulgaria, the Bulgarian forces did not withdraw from the Greek areas that had been ceded by the Germans. According to her, the EAM followed a "brotherhood" line with the occupiers and had agreed to the annexation of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace to Bulgaria. She also claimed that Soviet officers and soldiers had arrived in Komotini, Xanthi, and Drama, saying they were waiting for units for operations in Thessaloniki. Amalia stated that George Papandreou informed Churchill, who requested from Moscow and Sofia the complete withdrawal of the Bulgarian troops; according to the post, they left on October 26. Amalia added that Bulgaria attempted in July 1946, at the Paris Peace Conference, to claim Western Thrace with the support of the USSR, but the British rejected the request. As sources, she cited works by V. Kontis and S. Sfetas, Andreas Papandreou, Vasileios Kontis, and Chris Woodhouse. #Βουλγαρία #Ιστορία #Κατοχή (translated)

Amalia wrote that if diplomacy had developed differently in late 1940 or early 1941, the Soviet Union could have attacked Greece while it was fighting Italy. She argued that the German-Soviet pact did not define spheres of influence in the Balkans and that Stalin was particularly interested in Bulgaria. According to her post, on November 25, 1940, Soviet diplomat Arkady Sobolev conveyed a proposal for an alliance in Sofia. Amalia stated that the USSR offered Bulgaria military support in case of threat, support for its territorial claims in Greek areas, non-interference in its internal politics, and free grain and oil. In return, she claimed, it sought to establish naval and air bases in Varna and Burgas, while Stalin asked Hitler to recognize Bulgaria as part of the Soviet sphere of influence. Amalia argued that the Comintern, in a message signed by Georgi Dimitrov, called on the Bulgarian Communist Party to mobilize politicians and the public in favor of the proposal. She estimated that Soviet support for Bulgarian claims would require an ultimatum to Greece and, in the event of refusal, an invasion by Soviet and Bulgarian troops. In the post, Hitler prevented the agreement, warning of a potential Sovietization of Bulgaria and promising the Bulgarians the same Greek territories without war. Amalia noted that King Boris rejected the Soviet proposal and that Bulgaria joined the Axis in March 1941. #Ιστορία #ΕλληνοϊταλικόςΠόλεμος #ΣοβιετικήΈνωση (translated)
