Is Slovakia the most underrated european country?

If you meet Czechs who aren't addicted to sucking Western cock, most of them like Russia. Unfortunately most of the ones on social media do the we wuz Germans n shiet routine and hate everything Eastern, despite everyone associating us with Eastern Europe and Russia (for logical reasons). Not me though I'm built different. If you ever go to our country you are most likely going to find pro-Russia people in rural and Moravian areas.

I do agree that more Slovaks have the "old sentiment" in regards to many things not just Russia, it's why I like to be around them.

I used to know some Orthodox Czech seminary students in Troitse-Sergieva Lavra monastery in Sergiev Posad, Russia, they were classmates of my Serbian friends who were students there back in 2000s, they were nice people.

Also, I know one ethnic Pole from Odessa since long ago and he considers himself to be Russian, even studied in Warsaw and says Poles are bores a Pole.

The small minority of us who are Orthodox are usually going to be the ones who are the most autistically fixated on Russia (and Serbia), myself included. However I am not so autistic that I consider myself Russian.

We love Czechia.
One of streets in central part of Belgrade is Masarikova, named by first president of Czechoslovakia - Tomáš Masaryk.

I'm surprised to hear this. My father told me Czechs don't like Germans and he spent years there and speaks Czech. Even family that took him in was part German (father was Sudeten German, but flew for RAF in WW2 and he and his ethnic Czech wife were Czehoslovak loyalists) yet did not have any such sentiments.

It's just that Czechs are aware they are culturally much closer to Germans than Russians. It doesn't mean they like Germans.

From what I learned about Czechs, they identify as central Europeans ("heart of heart of Europe") and while they are not very anti Russian but pretty neutral, they certainly don't feel culturally similar to real eastern Europeans. Father told me they looked down on Slovaks as well.

I have been to Czech Repulic and it doesn't feel eastern at all.

Better that way, it'll stay safe from mass migration.

I think Croatia is more similar to Czechia. Both had own independent kingdom before the foreign occupation, they had own nobility, both country were very westernized for example renaissance or german influence. Slovakia is more similar to Slovenia, new countries with relatively new ethnic identity.

Yes, in political and historical development for sure. CRO/CZE are more alike just like SVK/SLO. Even though our WW2 development is much more similar to Slovak.

But as people we are closer to Slovaks while Slovenes are to Czechs. Slovaks and Croats are quite more Catholic and traditional than Slovenes/Czechs who are more liberal, non religious (especially Czechs) and colder.

Historically, it was the most shepherd oriented of all Slavic cultures and that's why I like them.

Well, lots of Japanese love Americans nowadays.

Yeah, but it def. is not how Czechs saw Germans historically. Keep in mind he was there in 60s and 70s, when WW2 was fresh. But regardless of that Czechs always saw Germans as danger that can germanize and assimilate them, it's not related with WW2 but much older sentiment.

First Pan Slavic congress was held in Prague for a reason.

And Czechs back than hated everything eastern, especially during events of Prague spring (that's only year when he could not travel there). But they never hated Russians as people. Czechs are pretty laid back. He just told me their culture, lifestyle and everything even in deepest communism had absolutely nothing in common with eastern Europe, and how they were lot more western even than us.

I think former DDR is closest thing to Czech Rep in spirit.

Slovenia is the only bigger underdog in Europe.

I disagre. Slovenia is celebrated by westoids, because it's so well developed and "progressive". Slovakia is much more of an aftertought. Unjustly so.
