1840 CE to 1851 CE

Special Bulgarian educational and cultural ties develop with Russia and France in the first half of the 1800s.

In 1840 the Russian government begins awarding grants for Bulgarian students to study in Russia.

The total number of students in the Russian program will never be high, but several graduates will be leaders in the independence drive of the 1870s.

Several notable Bulgarians of this generation also are educated in France and at Robert College, founded as a missionary institution in Constantinople.
