Yiannis PharmakisorIoannis Farmakis(Greek:Ιωάννης Φαρμάκης) (1772–1821), born inVlasti,Macedonia (Greece),was aGreek[1]revolutionary leader of theGreek War of Independence,active inWallachiaandMoldavia.[2][3]
Initially a commander of thePrincelyguard inBucharest,Pharmakis joined thePhilikí Etaireíamovement and became an aide toAlexander Ypsilantis,establishing a permanent link with the non-GreekOltenianPandursled byTudor Vladimirescu.He andGiorgakis Olympiosreached an agreement with Tudor in the early months of 1821, but, since the relation between the two factions soured as an effect ofRussianandOttoman Empireintervention, the two (joined byDimitrie Macedonski) decided to arrest Vladimirescu (who was to be executed on June 7). As the insurgency crumbled under Turkish attacks, Pharmakis retreated to the Secu Monastery inNeamţcounty, organising his last stand together with 380 to 500 of his men. Eventually he and his officers surrendered under conditions of general amnesty but the Ottoman troops captured and sent them toConstantinople,where they were publicly executed in 1821.
His sister Agnija, nicknamed Nula, marriedToma Vučić-Perišić,a Serbian politician and military leader during theSerbian Revolution.[4]
