The paper deals with religiously oriented groups with the umbrella name the Slavic–Aryan Vedas movement. This movement is unique in its teachings, which are Pagan at their core but significantly ...modified, incorporating other, mostly oriental traditions (Hinduism, Buddhism, ancient Egyptian religion, Judaism, and others). The article aims to provide a general overview of groups active in Slovakia. The main aim was to answer the following research questions. Are these groups a part of the Pagan milieu? What are the elements that are crucial for the ideology of Vedic Slavism? How are these elements manifested in practice? The study also explains the origins of these groups, the cultural context, and the creation of subgroups. The data presented in this study come from field research (2019–2021) using qualitative methods such as participatory observation, online ethnography, and autoethnography.
Gastronomic Terminology of Slavic Origin in Romanian. This article aims to discuss some aspects concerning the gastronomic terminology of Slavic origin (from Old Slavic, Bulgarian, Ukrainian, ...Russian, Belarusian, Serbian, Polish), which penetrated into Romanian at different sociocultural stages. Our analysis takes as a basis the specialized lexicon excerpted in Dicționarul explicativ al limbii române (DEX) (“The Explanatory Dictionary of the Romanian Language”), Micul dicționar academic (MDA) (“The Little Academic Dictionary”), as well as the words excepted on the Internet (this type of lexicon being nowadays an unrivaled source of enrichment of a language with the borrowings from other languages). The terminological elements discussed here are grouped into two categories, according to the period of their penetration into the language, their methods of penetration, but also according to the place they currently occupy in specialized works (notably in dictionaries, scientific works). The novelty of this research consists above all in the identification and study of Slavic gastronomic borrowings recently penetrated into Romanian. Keywords: terminology, gastronomy, linguistic contact, borrowing, Slavism.
The ideas of Slavic unity periodically played a significant role in politics. Today, the ideas of pan-Slavism, both political and cultural, are relevant again. The objective of this study is to ...identify two stable trends of pan-Slavism of the 19th century, “political” and “cultural”, which are reflected in the works of classics of Russian literature: F.I. Tyutchev and F.M. Dostoevsky. The history of socio-political doctrines as an interdisciplinary field of knowledge involves the study of various sources, including fiction. The theoretical basis of this research is a political and textual approach to the study of texts developed at the Department of the History of Socio-Political Doctrines of the Faculty of Political Science of Lomonosov Moscow State University, as well as methods used in the research of political science fiction. According to the results of the study, it can be concluded that ideologically Tyutchev was close to representatives of “political” pan-Slavism. He believed that the “Germanization” and “Turkification” of the Slavic peoples jeopardized the state interests of Russia and called for actions to liberate, unite and Russify the Slavic countries (the idea of the Slavic Empire). Dostoevsky gravitated towards “cultural” pan-Slavism. He did not deny the very possibility of such a union, but believed that first it was necessary to raise the level of civic culture, for Dostoevsky the future of the “Slavic cause” was determined by the Orthodox-Messianic idea. If Russia aims to build allied relations with Slavic countries, it will have to formulate an attractive idea that could also contribute to the spiritual unification of Slavs and other peoples.
In the 19th century the struggle of the Slavic ethnic groups for the preservation of national identity intensified. In the national consciousness of the intelligentsia, the ideas of Pan-Slavism, ...Austro-Slavism, and Slavophilism are being born. The aim of the study is to determine the historical preconditions for the emergence of such socio-political phenomenas as Pan-Slavism, Austro-Slavism, and Slavophilism, their conceptual articulation and use in the corresponding historical period in specific countries. The study of this issue requires the indispensable adherence to the methodological principles of objectivity, dialectical logic, consistency, as well as terminological certainty. The terms used in the discourse of the past were polysemantic. Some of them remain the same, which does not always correspond to the inner content of the events of the present time. The scientific novelty of the research consists in an attempt to analyze the relationship and evolution of the content of the named concepts, their interpretation in scientific literature, taking into account the fact that they appeared in certain historical conditions and were generated by specific individuals, and not by society. Conclusions: the socio-political prerequisites for the emergence in the 17th century and further development in the 19th century. These historical phenomena were, first of all, the oppressed position of the southern and western Slavs within the Austrian and Ottoman empires, as well as the infringement of national rights and the restraint of the aspirations for independence of the Western (Poles) and Eastern (Belarusians and Ukrainians) Slavs in the Russian Empire. However, neither Pan-Slavism, nor Pan-Russianism, nor Austro-Slavism ultimately led to the strengthening of Slavic reciprocity.
After analysing the current socio-political conditions in Ukraine caused by the war unleashed on February 20, 2014 by the Russian Federation, the author noted that they have common features with ...those that were before the outbreak of the First World War. This fact made this study relevant, since it requires an analysis of the “Ukrainian Question” from the standpoint of different countries at the beginning of the 20th century. Thus, the purpose of the study was to determine the essence of the Ukrainian national question on the eve of the First World War. For this purpose, the study used the methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison, deduction, generalisation, and historical method. As a result, the content of the “Ukrainian Question” was determined for the countries that participated in the First World War. In particular, it was established that Russia's goal was to capture Eastern Galicia, northern Bukovina and Transcarpathia, while under the auspices of the pan-Slavist policy and the Association of “Half-Blood Russian brothers”. Initially, Austria-Hungary also pursued the desire for territorial expansion, in particular, through the annexation of Volhynia and Podillia. As a result, the unification of Western and Eastern Europe was expected. Germany's goal was to divide the Russian empire into different territorial units and to seize the countries of Eastern Europe, in particular Ukraine, and settle its citizens on them. The positions of foreign countries on the “Ukrainian Question” considered in the study allowed for the conclusion that none of them considered the interests and aspirations of the Ukrainian people. The practical significance of the study was revealed in the fact that it can be used by modern researchers, in particular historians, when determining the prerequisites and nature of the current war of Russia against Ukraine

The aim of the research is to reconstruct the image of Russian Pan-Slavism in the German official press during the Bismarck era. The study examines the characteristic features of this image and its ...evolution over time, with particular attention given to the relationship between the image of Russian Pan-Slavism and the development of Russiangerman relations. The key source for this research is official newspapers, which were used by the German government to influence public opinion within the country and to transmit unofficial messages to ruling circles in other European states. The relevance of this research lies in the significant impact that historically established images and perceptions have on international relations in the modern world. The study concludes that the official press referred to the stereotypical image of Russian Pan-Slavism as a dangerous threat to the European world, which existed in German society, and contributed to its further strengthening. This image was widely used in the second half of the 1880s during a serious crisis in Russiangerman relations.
The nineteenth-century Czech national revival had various cultural layers. The evolution of today’s national identity derived from two cultural traditions, Catholic and Protestant, which influenced ...both the idea of Austro-Slavism and the Pan-Slavic nationalism. Each of these movements’ politics left a mark in Czech popular and art music.
In F. M. Dostoevsky’s geopolitical worldview, the division of the world into “ingroup” and “the other” (“outgroup”) often occurs not according to the principles of state-administrative division but ...based on national and confessional factors. The research aims to explore the geopolitical images of Armenians, Georgians, Bulgarians, and Greeks in Dostoevsky’s legacy. It shows how the belonging of a nation to Christianity, Orthodoxy, and the Slavic world affect the writer’s understanding of the nation as “in group” or “the other.” The study demonstrates that Christian Armenians and Orthodox Georgians turn out to be “the others” to the writer, even though they are part of the Russian Empire and its confessional system as well. At the same time, the Bulgarians — the Balkan Orthodox Slavs — are “in group,” while the Orthodox Greeks are “the other.” The reason for Dostoevsky’s aversion to the Greeks lies in the potential threat they pose, in his opinion, to the future of the pan-Slavic Orthodox state, of which Dostoevsky is a fervent supporter. The study allows us to conclude that for Dostoevsky, the belonging of an ethnic group to the Slavic world turns out to be more significant than his confessional commitment to Christianity.
This article has been written in response to Alexander Maxwell's paper published in this issue of the Historický časopis. Based on an in-depth reading of Ludevít Štúr's Nárečja slovenskuo alebo ...potreba písaňja v tomto nárečí, it is here demonstrated that the author of the mentioned paper creates an erroneous interpretation of Štúr's term nárečja, when equating it with the modern term dialect or nárečie. What present-day linguists call dialect was by Štúr unambiguously denoted as rozličnorečja. Moreover, it is evident from Štúr's Nárečja slovenskuo that Štúr cannot be regarded exlusively as a Pan-Slav (in the sense of an advocate of the All-Slav idea), since at the same time he was not only a Slovak patriot, but also a Pan-Humanist.
