The Onset of Nationalism

The definition of, and perceived supremacy of the Slavic culture is a hotly debated topic amongst scholars. Opinions differ over whether we should pursue a more pro-western stance to ensure Country does not stagnate in an endless cycle of tradition, or whether the importance of continuation is understated, and ought to remain a central part in preserving the Country Adjective identity. The divergence has spurred the creation of two distinct intellectual movements that wish to steer us in opposite directions, and we must decide on the path that aligns with our vision for the future.

7839historical_info = flavor_rus.72.historical_info Westernizers and Slavophiles were two distinct intellectual and ideological movements in nineteenth-century Russia. They had differing views on Russia's path of development, its relationship with Western Europe, and the preservation of Russian cultural identity. Westernizers favored modernization by adopting Western ideas, institutions, and technologies, whereas the Slavophiles emphasized the preservation of traditional Russian values, spirituality, and communal structures.
