Kiev Theological Academy

It was considered as the most senior one among similar academies in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Kazan.

In the Russian historiography, the Academy′s predecessor was the Academia Mohileana that was founded earlier in the 17th century.

The Collegium alumni include Innokentiy Gizel, Lazar Baranovych, Dmitry Tuptalo, Stephen Yavorsky, Feofan Prokopovich and many other state activists and Orthodox clerics who helped reform the Russian Orthodox Church under the auspices of Patriarch Nikon and Peter the Great.

In 1819, the Kiev Theological Academy, an ecclesiastical educational institution, was opened in the Brotherhood Monastery.

Upon the closure of the Kiev Theological Academy, its quarters were passed to the Soviet's Red Army Dnieper Flotilla staff headquarters.
