In 1770 the Russian navy had a decisive victory over the Turks in the Battle of Chesma, part of the Russo-Turkish War (1768–1774) and the Orlov Revolt, a plan by Catherine to stir up Greece against its Ottoman rulers. The overall commander was Count Alexei Grigoryevich Orlov, brother of Catherine's lover Grigori; both brothers had been crucial in the coup against her husband that had brought her to the throne. Another brother was present at the battle.
