Summary/Abstract: Students have been the driving force of social changes since the time of medieval universities. In our times a modern state presupposes the existence of a university. Even countries without a modern middle class have universities, and are consequently familiar with student political organizations. Their fighting spirit and the fact that they habitually gather a wide following stands in reverse proportion to the development of their country. The most assertive student movement of all times existed in 19th century Russia. In Serbia and Belgrade the student movement was progressive from the very beginning of modern university; liberal at first, it later turned toward socialism and communism. As opposed to the remainder of Europe, Belgrade did not have a significant rightist student movement in the period between the wars.
