Abstract

The article examines the activities of higher education institutions that were established by Russian emigrants abroad for young people who left Russia after the events of 1917. These institutions allowed emigrant youth to gain a profession. In addition, they played a significant role in the socialisation and adaptation of young people in European countries. It is emphasised that the pre-revolutionary principles of the educational process organisation were preserved in these educational institutions. It is noted that Czechoslovakia has become the center of the formation of the university system for Russian emigrant youth. Based on the analysis of modern research on the topic under consideration, the main trends in the educational environment of foreign Russia are formulated. Using the historical and typological method, the peculiarities of the functioning and typology of educational institutions in different countries are revealed. Using the historical and comparative method, the processes that took place in the European educational space are compared. The biographical method is used to establish the role of scientists and public figures who emigrated from Russia in organising the education of Russian youth abroad. The work uses materials from the State Archive of the Russian Federation and the National Archive of the Czech Republic.
