Today's common greek has less in common with ancient greek.
But one that can read and speak pontian can normally understand ancient greek and read ancient Greek texts for the most part.
English: love
Ancient Greek: agape.
Common modern greek: seagapo
Pontian greek : agapose.
That's just one example.
Apolcalypse= reveal
Apocalypse= to make known, to waken, to find can all be definitions of the word apocalypse.
Russia was also our ally in the civil war. When the UK held out hoping to regain lost lands and France sold to the south. Both traded with the south.
But the czar supported the north. Funny how many people don't know that today. Schools don't teach it much. Great videos on you tube regarding that fact.
Russia also helped blockade for the U.S. in the civil war when it looked like the north was going to lose.
Yes video on russia was the unions ally in the civil war narrated by a historian.
YouTube video named :"how holy russia saved the American people" on the greek orthodox christain television channel with a great historian.

Russia was our friend and closest ally until the assignation of Alexander and the spread of communism. We gave Russia special treatment when it came to trade. Communism is dead in Russia but for some reason many Americans can't get over the fact that Russia at one time was communist.
