Russian emigrants in Montenegro in 1919

Abstract

Despite the diffi cult conditions in which the Russian emigrants, who arrived in Montenegro, lived, they connected among themselves through different groups and associations. Connecting in the fi eld of culture for them meant the preservation of tradition and identifi cation with national identity. The article shows a number of fi elds where the Russians continued their mission and therefore signifi cantly infl uenced the development of cultural and artistic life in Montenegro. Their impact is seen in education and teaching, fi elds of art and literature, as well as in construction.
