Карел Гавличек Боровский и Россия

Abstract

The aim of this article is to provide a systematic research of the views on Russia of the prominent Czech journalist, writer and politician Karel Havlicek Borovsky (1821–1856). Since the perception of Russia and Russians in the then Czech lands is inextricably linked to the Slavic idea (Slavism), attention is also paid to Havlicek’s reflections on the Slavic question, his opinions about other Slavs and, last but not least, his Czech national program.
