Lambros Katsonis

Lambros Katsonis (; ; 1752–1805) was a Greek naval commander of the 18th century who would ultimately sail under the Russian flag with the rank of colonel. One of Lambros' grandsons, Spyridon son of Alexander, was a known Russian writer. He was also the godfather of Odysseas Androutsos, a commander of the Greek War of Independence.

Legacy The Livadia Palace, the summer home of the last emperors of Russa was built on Katsonis' Livadia estate after 1861. The name of the estate was given to it by Katsonis, who named it after his birthplace; moreover, this is the origin of the name of the town of Livadiya itself. It is there that the World War II Yalta Conference took place. This is where he was assassinated in 1805, under unclear circumstances.

The Hellenic Navy has named four of its ships after Katsonis.
