ON GENESIS OF NATIONAL CONCEPTION OF SLAVIC MUTUALITY (Ku geneze narodneho konceptu slovanskej vzajomnosti)

The space of dynamic political and cultural Europe and the period of two centuries, having in mind the period between late 18th century and early 20th century, are a favourable background for the constitution and transformations of the term Slavdom, specification and differentiation of the thesis the idea of Slavdom as well as for a different practice of Slavic mutuality as a complex and contradictory. At the same time, it refers to the differentiated expressions of the phenomenon which was going on individually (nation) or collectively within the set of identification (ethnic, national, cultural, etc.) and emancipation movements. As a matter of fact, they have their genesis in a cultural intention and result in a political practice of that age. Between the thesis and its realization even with the Slavic mutuality it is a priori necessary to take into consideration national or “time” differences.
