“Да прольется свет науки на всю Герцеговину…“: российские дипломаты о попытках открытия православной семинарии в 1850– 1870-е годы
“Let the Light of Science Shed on the All of Herzegovina…”: Russian Diplomats on the Attempts to Open an Orthodox Seminary in the 1850s–1870s

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with attempts to open an Orthodox seminary in the Sanjak of Herzegovina in the 1850s and 1870s. Russia provided assistance to the Orthodox population of the region in the implementation of educational projects. The times of the Tanzimat provided an opportunity to open seminaries in the region. This would help solve one of the important problems — the shortage of educated priests. In the 1860s, Serafim Perovich began to establish a seminary in the monastery of Zhitomislich. The Russian archives contain documents on Russia’s assistance in implementing projects to create Orthodox seminaries in the Herzegovina on the part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Holy Synod, and the Moscow Slavic Charity Committee.
