The Collegium Russicum ((ラテン語:Pontificium Collegium Russicum Sanctae Theresiae A Iesu Infante); (ロシア語:Папская коллегия Ру́ссикум); ''(英語:Pontifical Russian College of Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus)'') is a Catholic college in Rome dedicated to studies of the culture and spirituality of Russia. It is located near the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, separated from the Pontifical Oriental Institute by the Church of Saint Anthony, and is known informally as the Russicum. It was founded on August 15, 1929 by Pope Pius XI, who was touched by the large flow of immigrants from Bolshevik Russia and the persecution of Christianity in that country. The money for the college building and its reconstruction was taken from an aggregate of charity donations from faithful all over the world on the occasion of the canonization of St. Thérèse de Lisieux, placing the Russicum under her patronage. The Collegium Russicum is run by the Society of Jesus and provides education and accommodation for Catholic and Orthodox students. ==Former Students== *Walter Ciszek, S.J.
