Slavic Power-play

The Slavs

Available for over a year

The political history of the Slavic people and its consequences. How the romantic 18th- and 19th-century dream of Pan-Slavism – a united nation of Slavs – was meant to counter the influence of Germany on the one hand and Russia on the other. Is the Russian tendency to build empires something to do with their Slavic heritage? And what effect has it had on eastern and central Europe?
