“…Pelletier’s evocation of pan-Slavism also contributed to a legitimization strategy. Contrary to the pan-Celtic cause, which no state government backed, pan-Slavism found support among political elites of the Russian empire (Kohn, 1953; Snyder, 1976: 230–2; Fišera, 1992; Vovchenko, 2011; Boeckh, 2016; Gülseven, 2017). Incorporating pan-Slavism thus likely provided the only available ideological option for a French group seeking a place on the stage of European pan-nationalist movements that could oppose both the hated Teutons – usurpers of Alsace and Lorraine – and the major current of French nationalism oriented towards ‘Latin’ solidarity.…”

In the late nineteenth century, several pan-nationalist movements – pan-Germanism, pan-Slavism, pan-Latinism, pan-Celticism – arose in Europe. In France, pan-Latinism and pan-Celticism promoted competing visions of the country’s culture, respectively emphasizing its Latin and Celtic legacies. Two journals published in the 1910s, L’Étendard celtique and Revue des nations were founded by the writer Robert Pelletier to advance pan-Celticism. Their purpose was twofold: to advocate a return to France’s Celtic traditions and to promote the idea of a ‘racial’ link between Celts and Slavs. Calling for a ‘Celtic–Slavic’ alliance, these Slavophile journals expressed solidarity with oppressed Slavic peoples, especially in the context of the Balkan Wars. Pelletier’s promotion of pan-Celticism and pan-Slavism as two affiliated currents stemmed from both his rejection of pan-Latinism and his hope that connecting with the powerful pan-Slavic movement could facilitate French pan-Celticism’s emergence on the European stage.

“…Hence, the authors focusing on Pan-Slavism in the Balkans discuss these points in detail, with Parppei (2021) analyzing the Russian influence in the Balkans against the background of the Russo-Turkish War in the second half of the 19 th century. Vovchenko (2010) and Gülseven (2017) deal with a similar topic, examining the form of the Russian influence, whereas Kasatkin (2020) focuses on Pan-Slavism in Bulgaria in the 19 th century. Sotirović (2017) delves into the national identity of Croatians at the turn of the 17 th and 18 th centuries, examining it vis-à-vis ideas of Pan-Slavism and Pan-Croatianism (the notion of a Greater Croatia in the Balkans).…”

In this article, we examine the literature on the topic of Pan-Slavism that has been published in the last 20 years. We do so by paying particular attention to discussions on contemporary perspectives and manifestations of Pan-Slavism that in our view have been largely missing from academic research. We begin the article by introducing a theoretical conceptualization of Pan-Slavism in general, preparing the ground for our inspection of the academic output in the said period. We then continue by presenting our own contribution to the conceptualization and the current state of the field on Pan-Slavism, suggesting venues that future research may take towards broadening the field that has been and remains narrow. We conclude the article by summarizing the key points made therein.

“…21 These activists believed that they had to preserve Slavic Orthodox civilization against the influence of the Catholic West. 22 According to them, this could only be realized through a pan-Slavic federation under the leadership of the Russian emperor with Constantinople as its centre. Yet, during and after the Crimean War, Russian state authorities and intellectual circles embarked upon a proactive endeavour to bring the forces of the Slavic brotherlands under imperial Russian leadership against the European West.…”

Rethinking Russian pan-Slavism in the Ottoman Balkans: N.P. Ignatiev and the Slavic Benevolent Committee (1856–77)

The period between the Crimean War of 1853-56 and the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78 was one of the most important periods to leave its mark on the second half of the nineteenth century. This interwar period significantly affected international developments across Eastern Europe, Russia and the Ottoman Empire at the end of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth century. In that period, the dominant feature of Russian foreign policy towards the Ottoman Balkans was its pan-Slavic inclinations. Russian official policy in that period, however, was distant from the pan-Slavic movement. The principal reason for this discrepancy was the pan-Slavic policies pursued by Russian Ambassador to Constantinople Nikolai Pavlovich Ignatiev and the Slavic Benevolent Committee, which ultimately shaped Russia's Balkan policy. Thus, in analysing Russia's Balkan policy in the interwar period, these two actors deserve particular attention.From the early twentieth century onwards, a number of scholarly studies have addressed the subject of Russia's pan-Slavic policies in the nineteenth century. These studies have, for the most part, either described the general political situation in Europe and the Balkans or focused on specific national, cultural or event-based themes. In Russia, many archives were only opened in the early 1990s. Therefore, prior to that time most studies on pan-Slavism did not incorporate Russian archival sources, or they could only benefit from the archives of other states. 1 These early studies focused on Russian expansionist policies and the pan-Slavic views of Russian philosophers and writers such as Nikolai Yakovlevich Danilevskii, Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevskii, Ivan Sergeevich Aksakov and Rostislav Andreevich Fadeev 2 More recent studies have included biographical works, such as those by Viktoriia Khevrolina, David MacKenzie and Ozhan Kapici. 3 These studies concentrate on Ignatiev's military and diplomatic career and activities. Although these works touch on Russia's pan-Slavic policies in the Balkans, their focus is rather on offering a general evaluation of the period's international relations. Denis Vovchenko and Jelena Milojkovic-Djuric have studied the formation of national identity among Balkan Slavs and the Russian influence on this process, discussing the national identity of the Balkan Slavic people in the context of pan-Slavism and Russian Orthodoxy. 4 Only a few studies have directly addressed the Slavic Benevolent Committee, including those by Sergei Nikitin, Aleksei Popovkin and Zdenko Zlatar. 5 They describe the administrative and institutional establishment of the Committee, but restrict themselves to matters concerning foreign policy. Nikitin, a Soviet historian, downplayed the committee's role as a political actor in the Balkans CONTACT Aslı Yi git G€ ulseven asliyigit.
