The documentary film “Russian Emigration in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in the 20th Century – Russians in Bileća,” created by Dejan Puhala and Prof. Dr. Mira Mandić at the Department of Spatial Planning and the Department of Geography of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the University of Banja Luka, was screened in Rostov (Russian Federation).

The film was presented on the occasion of marking the 140th anniversary of the existence of the Don Cadet Cossack Corps “Emperor Alexander III,” an elite military school whose members emigrated to the territory of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia after the October Revolution.

For several years, the military school operated in Bileća and had a significant impact on the cultural development of Bileća and its surroundings. The film provides an overview of Serbian-Russian historical ties with a special focus on Russian emigration and the Don Corps in Bileća.
