Sažetak
This paper reviews one of the aspects of the Eastern Question and the Russian foreign policy towards the Bulgarian community in the Ottoman Empire after the Crimean War (1853 – 1856). This article focuses on the Russian consul’s activity on the Balkan Peninsula and especially how they managed to attract and send Bulgarians to study abroad in Russian high schools and universities. The text analyzes the work of the Slavic charity committees, which helped students during their education. The paper also comments on what the Russian administration anticipated from all those students after their graduation. It is proved that the administration expected them to provide pro-Russian policy and propaganda on the Balkan Peninsula and to bring a sentiment towards Russia.
