Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the previously unknown aspects of education of Serbian and Montenegrin youths in the South Slavic boarding school of Bulgarian enlightener Todor Minkov in the second half of the 19th – early 20th century. This institution was created by the permission of the Russian monarch in 1867 in the city of Nikolaev with the aim of concentrating the South Slavic youth in one place for secondary education. Balkan youths studied in a classical gymnasium, real and district schools. The boarding school combined educational and training functions, and its students largely integrated into the Russian philistine life of the second half of the 19th century. In 1892, after the completion of the boarding school in Nikolaev, Todor Minkov opened a new institution in the Grodno province in Belarus as a class for preparing Bulgarians, Serbs and Montenegrins for entry into the military corps. The South Slavic Guest House II lasted until the death of its founder and keeper in 1906. The South Slavic boarding house of Todor Minkov became the forge of the Balkan elites, who made a significant contribution to the liberation of their peoples from foreign rule and the construction of young independent states.
