The cult of Saints Cyril and Methodius began soon after their death and spread quickly among the Slavs. Despite the fact that the Saints were Byzantine missionaries and thus plenty of hagiographic works about them existed at that time, a feast day dedicated to them was not established officially in Constantinople itself. In the Liturgical Calendar of the Metropolis of Thessaloniki their feast day was introduced in 1957. In 1966, the Metropolis of Thessaloniki organized several events with a panorthodox and oecumenical character in honour of the two Apostles of the Slavs. Since then there have been numerous efforts and activities (e.g. the foundations of centres, churches and monuments, publications, and much more) from several institutions to establish in Thessaloniki the tradition and memory of the two Thessalonian brothers. In June 2011, the Centre for the Study of the Cultural Heritage of Cyril and Methodius (www.kyrillos-methodios.gr) has been established in Thessaloniki, promoting research into the life and work of Saints Cyril and Methodius both in Greece and abroad.

In addition to profound economic and political reasons, there were a number of immediate events preceding the First World War, which acted like a trigger; one of such momentous events was the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian heir to the throne Archduke Franz Ferdinand d'Este and his wife Sophie Chotek, Duchess of Hohenberg. Even a hundred years later, many of the details of the murder are still shrouded in mystery; the assassination is still a vivid theme surrounded by various rumors that keeps intriguing historiography. One of the theories associated with the tragic Sarajevo events of June 28, 1914, is the role of Russian counterintelligence in the assassination. A new light on the role of Russia or, more precisely, on its involvement in the killings, has been shed by new Russian historiography in a number of studies, which drew on the previously little-known Serbian and Russian sources. Nearly three years following the Sarajevo assassination, a trial was held in Thessaloniki, the then headquarters of the Serbian Army, with members of the clandestine organization "Unification or Death", which ended with the conviction and execution of three of the defendants. Even though the original grounds for the trial were to investigate alleged preparations for the assassination of Prince Alexander in 1916, legal materials partly illuminate the events of Sarajevo in June 1914 and also refer to the alleged involvement of the Russian counterintelligence.
