Video - Nightmare in Mora: The Russian Invasion and Massacre of Muslims

Meanwhile, Papazoğlu was caught and killed by Albanian bandits. Finally, the Russian navy, commanded by the British, landed troops in Mora. They distributed the weapons they had brought to the Greeks they had previously captured and began to attack Muslim villages. They martyred thousands of unarmed Muslim men, threw children from minarets, and raped women and girls. Meanwhile, when a small Ottoman detachment in the Peloponnese arrived at the scene of the incident, they escaped, captured the unarmed and unprotected Navarino castle in the west of the peninsula, and took shelter there. The local Greeks who joined the rebellion after them also came there, but the Russians did not let them into the castle. They watched with pleasure as the Ottoman forces destroyed them. Later, they surrendered the castle to the Ottoman forces that besieged the castle and escaped by boarding my ships. But what an escape... The next day, when they saw a small Ottoman naval force in front of them, they found salvation in escaping by not listening to the British admiral's order to fight. Prince Orlof, the head of the Russian forces, was shouting: "How did we come to this Mediterranean? Down with the will of Tsar Peter." Just like that, Tsarina Katerina's dream turned into a nightmare.
