Abstract

The October Revolution and the sequence of events triggered by this coup drove crowds of Russians to foreign lands. On arrival in a new environment, many cultured and highly educated people forged contacts and began to establish various organisations and associations. The primary purpose of these associations was to bring together Russian citizens who had found themselves in a new homeland, to provide them with social support, and to foster their national identity. At the same time the activities of many émigré organisations, with their highly skilled and highly educated membership, significantly contributed to the development of disciplines and activities of various local institutions.

The purpose of this text is to present the contribution of Russian emigrants to Yugoslav scholarship. The focus is on various scholarly institutions and associations, which emerged between the arrival of the first large group of Russian emigrants in 1921 and the year 1945, when the activity of the émigré organisations died down.
