Summary

Introduction

Research works devoted to the students of St. Vladimir University usually highlight either specific features of the educational process or some aspects of their everyday life. У нашій публікації ми звернемо увагу на значення театру в житті студентів Російської імперії на прикладі Університету св. Тема місця театру в житті студентів Російської імперії частково відображена як у працях російських вчених-істориків (Кулакова 2006, Андреев 2000), так і українських дослідників (Посохов 2013, Кругляк 2010). Для опису формування театральних зацікавлень студентів Університету св. Володимира (Правобережжя та Лівобережжя) були активно залучені до театрального життя.
