The Kharkov Collegium[1][2][3][4][5] also known as Kharkiv Collegium or Kharkiv College[6] (from 1721 to 1726 Belgorod Slavic School[7][8]) was an educational institution in the Kharkov Governorate in the Russian Empire (now Kharkiv, Ukraine), which was founded in 1721,[9] due to collaboration of Bishop Epiphanius of Belgorod and Prince Mikhail Golitsyn.[10] As a great supporter of the Collegium was also known Prince Dmitry Golitsyn, whose monument stood in the central hall of the Collegium.[11] The Kharkіv Collegium was closed in 1817 and was re-organised as the Kharkov Theological Seminary, a higher educational institution of the Russian Orthodox Church, training clergy, teachers, scholars, and officials.
