Alcibiades Diamandi
Greek Axis collaborator (1893-1948)
Alcibiades Diamandi (13 August 1893 – 9 July 1948, sometimes spelled Diamanti or Diamantis; Aromanian: Alchibiad Diamandi; Greek: Αλκιβιάδης Διαμάντης) was an Aromanian political figure of Greece and Axis collaborator, active during the First and Second world wars in connection with the Italian occupation forces and Romania. By 1942, he fled to Romania and after the end of the Second World War he was sentenced by the Special Traitor's Courts in Greece to death. In Romania he was jailed by the new Communist government and died there in 1948.
From Samarina to Bucharest
Alcibiades Diamandi was born in 1894, in Samarina, into a wealthy Aromanian (Vlach) family. He studied at the Greek Gymnasium in Siatista, continuing his studies in Romania where he became involved in the Aromanian separatist movement. During the course of World War I he served as a non-commissioned officer in the Greek army. In 1917, he formed an armed Aromanian separatist band that operated in the Pindus mountains, then part of an Italian protectorate over Albania. Following the occupation of part of the Pindus by Italy in 1917, he proclaimed the foundation of the Samarina Republic centered in Samarina. Following a diplomatic protest by Greece, Italian troops departed from Epirus as did Diamandi who was charged with sedition. Returning to Romania in the early 1920s he entered the Romanian diplomatic service and was appointed consul at Sarandë in order to influence the local Aromanian population.
