Abstract

Slavs represent one of the largest ethnic and linguistic groups, as well as a unique “world” with their own geographical, cultural, and civilizational boundaries. Throughout history, scholars and intellectuals from Slavic countries have sought to unite this “world,” both culturally and politically, through the idea of Pan-Slavism. This idea has taken various forms and has been interpreted in different ways, depending on the period and the individuals promoting it. The idea of a “Slavic World” unity has been present since ancient times and is deeply rooted in the consciousness of Slavic people. The origins of the Pan-Slavism idea can be traced back to the works of Juraj Križanić (around 1618–1683), a Croatian philosopher and theologian. The Pan-Slavism idea reached its peak during the rise of national movements among Slavic people in the 18th – 19th centuries and the phenomenon of “National revival.” Pan-Slavism can be considered a manifestation of macro-nationalism in Europe, and its emergence among Western Slavs is primarily driven by internal political factors. Interest in consolidating the Slavic world began to revive at the beginning of the 20th century. Due to political and economic factors, Pan-Slavism became a cultural and economic movement in the early part of the 20th century. Alexander Pogodin, a Russian historian (1872–1947), was a key figure in this movement. Through his writings, Pogodin sought to redefine Pan-Slavism in order to make it relevant for his times and free from old “Slavophile ideas.”
