Kapodistrias (English spelling) Ioannis Antoniou Kapodistrias

Greek politician. Born on the island of Corfu (Kerkyra). His family name comes from Capo d'Istria, Count of Istria. He entered politics when the Ionian Federation was established under Turkish suzerainty (1800), and in 1809 he was invited by the Russian government to become a Russian diplomat, where he demonstrated his talent at the Congress of Vienna. He then became Russian foreign minister, earning the ire of Austria's Metternich. He refused to become president of the secret Greek independence society, the Fraternity, but in 1827 he was elected as the first Greek president by the Greek National Assembly, and after visiting various European countries, he landed in Nafplio at the beginning of the following year in 1828 and took up the presidency. However, his Russian-style administration drew opposition from influential Greek figures who had contributed to independence, and he was assassinated on October 9, 1831.

ギリシアの政治家。コルフ(ケルキラ)島出身。その家名はイストリア伯Capo d'Istriaに由来する。トルコ宗主権下の「イオニア七島連邦国」発足(1800)とともに政界に入り、1809年ロシア政府に招かれて同国の外交官となり、ウィーン会議で才腕を発揮。ついでロシア外相となってオーストリアのメッテルニヒの反感を買った。ギリシア独立の秘密結社「友愛会」総裁の就任は固辞し続けたが、27年ギリシア国民会議によって初代ギリシア大統領に選出され、ヨーロッパ諸国訪問後、翌28年初めナフプリオンに上陸、大統領に就任した。しかし、そのロシア的施政は、独立に功績のあったギリシア人有力者の反発を招き、31年10月9日暗殺された。
