Are Slavs Westerners?

[Bobby Martnen]

On one hand, Slavs have always been associated with the East, and Huntington sees them as a separate civilization.

On the other hand, they have a lot of similarities with Western European and Anglo cultures.

Discuss.

[Kamal900]

They are part of the western world..just different from the rest is all. I mean, Slavs make up half of the population of Europe afterall.

[Kaspias]

No.

Also ask this question to a Slav, he will answer as no. Slavs dont want to be a westerner.

[Peterski]

Slavs vis-a-vis the West - such as for example Donald Tusk - are similar to Stilicho or Ricimer vis-a-vis Rome.

We are citizens of the Western World (EU), just like Stilicho and Ricimer were citizens of the Roman Empire.

Do you consider Stilicho, Ricimer and other barbarian citizens of the Empire as Romans, or as barbarians?

[Hodar]

For people in Asia they are westerners. But it's the eastern part of the western world, so it has more eastern influences.

Just a bunch of mishmash on that map.

In Polish internet you can find articles such as:

"Upadek [Anty-]Cywilizacji Zachodu" ("The Collapse of the Western [Anti-]Civilization"):

"Zmierzch Chorej Cywilizacji Zachodu" ("The Twilight of the Sick Western Civilization"):

As I said Slavs are only citizens of the West, like many Germanics were citizens of Rome.

Just a bunch of mishmash on that map.

Tell it to Huntington.

[Teutone]

50years of communism cannot be ereased by a few years in nato and EU
