The Greek Plan or Greek Project (Russian: Греческий проект) was an early solution to the Eastern question which was advanced by Catherine the Great in the early 1780s. It envisaged the partition of the Ottoman Empire between the Russian and Habsburg Empires followed by the restoration of the Eastern Roman Empire centered in Constantinople.
