Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to one of the most striking phenomena of World War I — the patriotic movement among students of Minsk province. The scale and significance of the war, the proximity of the front, the intensification of social life in the rear, the movement of refugees and wounded, and the example set by the departure of older students to the front — all contributed to a surge in patriotism and model behavior among Russian secondary school students. Grammar schools, colleges and seminaries demonstrated this unity of school and state, especially in the first period of the war, and were accompanied by popular patriotic enthusiasm and major waves of philanthropy.
