In 1685, two Greek monks, Ioannikios and Sofronios Likhudy, founded the first higher educational institution of secular type in the history of Russia, known to us as the Slavonic-Greek-Latin Academy. Like many of their Greek contemporaries, the brothers received education in schools in post-Renaissance Italy, copying the educational programs of the Jesuits. In his book, N. Chrissidis analyzes the influence of the Slavonic-Greek-Latin Academy on Russian educational practice and places it in the broader context of Russian-Greek cultural connections and contacts between Russia and Western Europe in the 17th century. He shows how Russian and Greek educational enterprises were integrated into the pan-European model of academic activities of the Jesuits, which influenced Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox educational institutions in terms of curriculum choices. According to the author, the Greek academic and cultural influence on Russia in the second half of the 17th century bore the imprint of Western educational standards, although it remained nominally Orthodox from a doctrinal point of view. Nikolaos Chrissidis is a historian, professor at Southern Connecticut State University, USA.
