What is your favorite Slavonic country/nation?

[Stegura]

Crap! Can a Moderator please make all votes public, I forgot too!

[Gaztelu]

Monteniggers = The best of the Serbs

I am not even joking, they are the best.

[Mortimer]

Serbia of course, i was born there.

[StonyArabia]

Serbia that nation was victim of imperialist aggression and demonization and they way they fought and were brave to keep their identity and not to fall into the American neo-con NATO trap is more than one could admire about them. As well they were victims of depleted uranium sadly.

[Midori]

Ukraine and Belarus.

[RagnarLodbrok666]

Hungary

It has a rich archeological and pagan history, a rich military history, great people of Slavo-Scythian stock.

Poland

Slavo-Germanic culture and beautiful Slavo-Germanic women. :)
Pilsner urquell. :)

Hungarians aren't Slavs, altough they did assimilate lots of Slavic blood.

Yes Polish women are beautiful! :)

[Phil75231]

This was a hard one, for I don't have any real emotional stake in any Slavic country (practically assured there is no Slavic blood in my veins that I'm aware of - at least as of the last 300 yrs, and probably at least the last 600 as well).

In the end, I voted the Czech Republic because during the interwar years, it (when it was part of Czechoslovakia) was the only democracy in Central Europe, up until Hitler's occupation of it in '39. It was also the last nation liberated by the USSR to turn Communist. All and all, they seem to be the most dedicated to democracy and human rights, plus have the right combination of factors to make it the wealthiest of the former communist nations (with the possible exception of Slovenia). So "Czhekia", my vote's for you.

[Lithium]

Besides my own country of course, I love Polska. I have been there several times and I just love it. We are related in a strange and funny way, some of my best memories are from there.

[Joe McCarthy]

Poland. A brave nation that resisted both fascism and Marxism and led the way in bringing down the Communist Bloc. They're now an especially close American ally and their immigrants here have probably assimilated better than an English speaking population, the Irish.

I also admire Sobieski.

The Czech Republic comes in second because of their generally Western outlook.

[European Loyalist]

Czech Republic and Poland.

Slovenia as well.

[Joe McCarthy]

Serbia that nation was victim of imperialist aggression and demonization and they way they fought and were brave to keep their identity and not to fall into the American neo-con NATO trap is more than one could admire about them. As well they were victims of depleted uranium sadly.

There are reasons to admire the Serbs, but even few of them are really proud of their chainsaw tactics in the 90s. Admiring a people for getting bombed by the US for massacring people is just cockeyed.

So, basically, the only reason these two are your favorites is because they are/possess

A) "Western" (outlook)
B) American allies

[Drawing-slim]

I voted poland, strictly based on people i've met they seem to be very western and reasonable likable people, tolerant and easy going.

[Adrian]

Slovenia.

Educated and hardworking people.
They are the best example to be followed from each people/country of former YU.

[Trun]

Bulgaria of course, after that Ukraine and Croatia.

[Flintlocke]

Poland. I haven't met people from other Slavic countries. Polaks are good katunars :)

[Mordid]

Slavic Europe is very interesting and it's hard to choose just one country. Russia is well known and already has many votes, so I will say Bulgaria, Serbia, Poland and Slovakia.

Let's get drunk and screw :drink :icon_drunk:

Also after watching Ogniem i Mieczem I say Poland was the coolest country even back in the day.

Anyway, my vote would be a tie between Poland and the Czech Rep. Never visited either country, but would very much like to one day.

There aren't any Slavic countries/peoples that I especially dislike either, not even Russia, despite our somewhat less-than-idyllic shared history with them.

Well, maybe you're familiar with the term "Rapallo-complex" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Rapallo_(1922)), the fear of other European nations about Germany and Russia cooperating too closely...

Serbia of course what a stupid question.

http://www.nato.int/docu/review/1993/9302-4.htm


And then there is the memory of the past which, particularly in the case of Germany's allies, continues to raise the question of German-Russian relations. These memories may seem anachronistic from a German viewpoint, but they do exist and perceptions influence policy. For some Western observers, these relations are all linked to the so-called 'Rapallo Complex'. It was on 16 April 1922 in Rapallo that, to the surprise of the Western powers, the German Reich and Soviet Russia, the two losers of the First World War, signed treaties on such vital issues as reparations and pre-war debts. Contrary to some of the opinions expressed even to this day, no secret military alliance was agreed upon and there were no secret discussions on a joint attack on Poland. From a Western perspective, however, the secret supplementary accord in the Hitler-Stalin Pact of 23 August 1939 seemed, once it became known, to justify the existence of the 'Rapallo Complex'. This then became a preoccupation of the Western media, particularly in France, most recently on the occasion of the July 1990 German-Soviet Summit meeting of Chancellor Kohl and President Gorbachev in the Caucasus. It would seem reasonable to suppose that, in future, the new Germany's contacts with Russia will be viewed even more closely from this historical perspective than was the case with the contacts established by the old Germany with the Soviet Union.

[GeistFaust]

I like the more Western Slavic groups like the Czechs for instance, they seem to have adapted a lot of Germanic culture and even mixed in to some extent with Germans. Hungarians are another interesting group since they integrated with a Germanic nation in Austria, and assimilated some Germanic cultural and ethnic identities, though small.


Poland probably has to come third, especially the ones that were Germanicized in Prussia. A lot of the Prussian nobles were Germanicized nobles, and you can see that in names like Fransecky.


Germanicized Slavs made for a nice hybrid blend to some extent, and the Germanic component always seemed to dominate in a cultural, psychological, and even ethnic manner.



The Poles also were not as uncultured as some people like to make them out to be, but they were probably not as cultured compared with places like Germany and France.


There are a lot of things that could be said about the Poles regarding their position between Germany and Russia making them unlucky. Polish food is also pretty good, and a lot of the more Western Slavic nations mirror parts of the Germanic world, especially the more Eastern parts a bit more.

You are full of shit, mate. :rolleyes:

[GeistFaust]

I would not entirely say that, but it seems like their cultural and ethnic identities helped to curb the Slavs, discipline them, and imbue a sense of culture into them. I think the Slavs have a rather naturalistic spirit, which revolves around an adventurous warrior type archetype much like the Germanics.


I just think this spirit was probably less cultured and disciplined than the Germanic spirit, but it depends on your perspective as to whether this is a good or bad thing.


Also a lot of Slavic music is interesting, and it has upbeat quality to it at times, which seems like it is in a "transitory" stage between a European world and a Non-European world to the East. I just like more Western Slavs, because they align more with my background overall, and given the fact I come with a more Western mentality.

[Thunor]

I voted Russia. Just because of their classical music and culture. Good-looking women as well. As a kid during the Cold War, I was always fascinated with "the enemy". :P

The Czechs are interesting too, they seem more German in their culture than typically "Slavic".

[GeistFaust]

You are full of shit, mate. :rolleyes:



I said good things about the Polish culture, and Poland was noble in a way for attempting to mimic the English system of constitutionalism. Unfortunately for them that was just not a feasible plan stuck in between Prussia, Austria, and Russia.


I also did not like that they reduced their national identity not an ethnic status, but more to a linguistic or cultural level. The political schemework of the Polish in that period after the Medieval periods mimicked that of the Iranic peoples in a way, with their emphasis on putting the ethnic elite(Polish) on top, and having a vast plethora of types in the lower castes.


Poland played a big part in stopping the Muslims from invading Europe with the famed Winged Hussars, so the most underrated Slavs could be said to be the Poles. ;)

Many people forget that a large part of the early Russian culture was heavily influenced by more Western ideas coming out of Germany and the Renaissance movement in Italy.

Catherine the Great herself was a German, and there were quite a few great "Russian" generals who were of German descent.


It seems like there culture overall though was mixed by a combination of many components, but the cultural elites at points were from more Western sources, especially Germanic countries like Germany and Sweden.(Romonav-Holstein(Germanic component right here)

[Thunor]

Many people forget that a large part of the early Russian culture was heavily influenced by more Western ideas coming out of Germany and the Renaissance movement in Italy.
Indeed, I read somewhere that French was the spoken language at the Russian court at one point, and later it was German. I can't remember when the Russian Tsars started speaking the same language as their peasant class, but it was pretty late.


Catherine the Great herself was a Russian, and there were quite a few great "Russian" generals who were of German descent.
Peter the Great was a Russian. Catherine the Great was actually a German. (The Romanovs were basically Germanic by the end, although they didn't view themselves as anything else than Russian.)

[Thunor]

Also, the Russian empire used to be pretty multi-ethnic (which Russia still is today), and some groups played big roles. For example, the German minority often had powerful positions.

The Volga Germans did play a big role in Russian society, and a lot of German aristocrats were taken into the Russian army at points.

The German nobles and aristocrats seem to have been rather powerful throughout large sections of Eastern Europe, where you basically had German elites running large sections of the area.

The Germans put more emphasis on expanding their power within the continent unlike the other powers like the French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, and English.

The Volga Germans were farmers. German officiers in the Army were mainly Baltic barons (from Russian territories) and they got to the Army automatically like noblemen from Ryazan e.g. But earlier many officiers came from all Europe, yes.

I dont vote here, opinions of non-Slavic posters would be more interesting IMHO.

Romania not: obviously there are some influences, but basically their culture is latin with an heavy orthodox (byzantine) and a little slavic influences. Same for Moldova, but culturally they've a slighlty higer slavic influece, probably due to the failed russification in the soviet era (and moldovans are, ethnically, a bit lighter than romanians).
We have about 1,200,000 romanian and 500,000 moldovan immigrants here, i know quite well their cultures.

Baltic people are in no way "Slavic". The similarities come from thousands of years ago, when possibly Balts and Slavs were the same people- Balto-Slavs.
Also many Poles, Belorussians and Russians are "Slavicised" Balts, as Balts were living in a far more larger territory in prehistoric times.

I guess it's a relic from the Cold War that we identify all East European countries as "Slavic" because they were under Soviet Russia's control. Even though we all know that Balts, Estonians, Hungarians and Romanians are not Slavic.

That's not the worst scenario - these guys are at least East Euro but when I hear about Georgia being Slavic my jaw drops down.

On topic: hard to choose between em. I generally have very positive bias against Slavs.

[Harmonia]

It's hard to choose one favourite slavic country, as in my opinion, every slavic country has it's own cons and pros. I admire long and interesting history of Bulgaria, pretty much the same I could say about Czechia. I also love our Polish neighbours, beautiful landscape, medieval cities, very nice people and melodic language, glorious history. Slovakia is a country I always like to visit, very hospitable people and beautiful mountains. I admire lovely cities, culture and music of Slavic balkan countries. But if I have to choose one, it's Russia, for it's amazing traditional and classical music, ballet, art, splendid history and for those warm-hearted Soviet animations I have grown up with.

Poland and Russia since I have ancestry from both those countries and because they are the most diverse and biggest Slavic countries together with Ukraine who is a mixture of both.

Also Poles have the higehst percentage of nobles (about 15-20 percent) of the total population which is unheard of in any other European country. The closets percentage of nobles is only found in Hungary and Spain and it's about 3-4 percent!

Moreover Poles had such an awesome culture in the past (Sarmatism, "God, Honor and Country", bravery, Winged Hussars, culture, cuisine, landscapes, diversity etc.)

When other nations lived under autocratic rulers the Polish nobility choose the kings and all nobles were equals (titled and untitled which I found amazing considering the societies as that time)

Also Poland had the first democratic constitution in Europe and the second oldest in the world (next after USA)

Wonderful people who are also mostly conservative and anti-communist/socialist. Also the late Pope was the best Pope in ages (John Paul II). An amazing man that helped greatly in the collapse of the horrible proletarian regime that was the Soviet Union.

Stegura, in your meta-ethnicity, you wrote it fine as "slavic" .
Now you're using "slavonic" as an adjective ?
a Slav = slavic
Slavonia ( croatian area ) = slavonic
:) ?

I'll go with Russia, since I once took a beautiful, kind Russian woman about two years younger than me on a tour through several of the museum in Washington, D.C. I wonder if I'll ever see her again?:(
