  Orlov Revolt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Orlov Revolt (1770) was a precursor to the Greek War of Independence (1821), which saw a Greek uprising in the Peloponnese at the instigation of Count Orlov, commander of the Russian Naval Forces of the Russo-Turkish War.
In 1769, during the Russo-Turkish War, a fleet of 14 warships commanded by count Aleksey Grigoryevich Orlov sailed from the Baltic Sea for the Mediterranean.
From the Russian point of view, Count Orlov's mission was a success, damaging the Turkish Fleet, directing Turkish troops south, and contributing to the victory that led to the signing of the Treaty of Kuchuk-Kainarji.

A famous 1934 photograph seemed to show a dinosaur-like creature with a long neck emerging out of the murky waters, leading some to speculate that "Nessie" was a solitary survivor of the long-extinct plesiosaurs.
The aquatic plesiosaurs were thought to have died off with the rest of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
Loch Ness was frozen solid during the recent ice ages, however, so this creature would have had to have made its way up the River Ness from the sea in the past 10'000 years.

Greek independence from Ottoman rule was preceded by many years of preparation as growing dissent among the population was used to raise funds for weapons.
After several unsuccessful revolts (including those led by the Russian count Aleksey Grigoryevich Orlov, and Alexander Ypslanti, a former aide-de-camp of the Russian czar Alexander I), a general uprising on March 25, 1821, initiated by Germanos, the archbishop of Patra, grew to become known as the War of Independence that lasted for 8 years.
During the first period of the war (1821-24), the Greeks fought unaided; the European powers were leery of interfering, reluctant to create a "power vacuum" in southeast Europe when Turkey was still the dominant power in the area.
