The Slavic world is huge, multifaceted and contradictory. It unites more than 300 million inhabitants of different states, ethnocultural and religious worlds. Having united, the Slavs could dominate Europe, but their fate is tragic. It is enough to say that the Slavic peoples were part of the three empires: Russian, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman. However, with all the differences and confrontations, there is one indisputable unifying and related beginning – word. In the Slavic world, there are many heroes, creators, outstanding personalities, but the author of this book distinguishes 100 of them – those who, a prophetic word, tireless creativity, sharp thought, and even weapons, defended and sang the Slavs.
The Slavic world is split, bleeding and fraught with seemingly insoluble contradictions. But we, the Russians, like many of our brothers, remember the covenant of the truthful Fedor Dostoevsky: “Russia has two world -historical tasks, these are Slavs and Orthodoxy.”
