Why didn’t the Soviet Union forcibly assimilate all the Slavic nations of Europe into Russia? They are all one homogeneous group so it wouldn’t have been too hard.
Why didn’t the Soviet Union forcibly assimilate all the Slavic nations of Europe into Russia?
Because they recognized they were different nations. Seems pertinent, no?
They tried to unite slavdom into warsaw (+ guests) but Tito just wouldn't die
>They are all one homogeneous group
What kind of shitty troll thread is this? We are almost the most culturally heterogenous language group in Europe despite the closeness of our languages. What commonality does a culturally crypto-Muslim, beak-nosed swarthy Serb have with a blonde, blue-eyed Czech whose ancestors spent a millennium within Germany?
Why are Czechs considered Eastern Europeans anyway, given that they were part of the HRE and then Austria-Hungary so long? More generally, Latin alphabet/Roman Catholic Eastern Europe should just count as Western. What do Poland, Croatia, Hungary, etc have in common with freaking Bulgaria or Serbia besides (in some cases) the Slavic ancestry?
>Hungary is NOT a Slavic nation.
>Croatia speaks the exact same language as Serbia and has was also under Muslim influence like Serbia, although for a shorter amount of time, so similar Muslim cultural relics exist in Croatia as in Serbia or Bulgaria.
>Croatia speaks the exact same language as Serbia
Since the 19th century, artificially so.
>Croatia was also under Muslim influence like Serbia
>so similar Muslim cultural relics exist in Croatia as in Serbia or Bulgaria.
Wrong.
At least half of modern Croatia was never under muslim/turkish rule. Most parts of Croatia that were conquered by the Ottomans are now B&H, hence the boomerang shape.
In fact most of the "muslim" influence came from former Ottoman parts of Yugoslavia much later in the 19 and 20 century along with the "Serbo-Croatian" language, exception being the Serbian Krajina which had those for centuries longer but that's also due to Habsburgs inviting Serbs to live there.
>IN SOME CASES the Slavic ancestry
You missed this bit
>so similar Muslim cultural relics exist in Croatia as in Serbia or Bulgaria
lol lmao
Because they were a part of the Eastern Bloc, that's really all there's to it. Czechia is no more Eastern than a good part of Germany, both culturally and geographically.
>It was not a successful nation-state, unlike France, Germany or Britain, or, in various forms, Russia. In its nineteenth-century manifestation the ‘Monarchy’ was the archetypal Central European state, so it did not fare well as a subject during the Cold War, when there was no Central Europe, only binary ‘Western’ and ‘Eastern’ halves. There is also the consideration that after 1918 it no longer existed, and it is always an extra reach to study something that has no obvious and significant successor, as is the case with the Habsburg Monarchy.
A preface to a Cambridge textbook on Habsburg Monarchy, i.e. basically the whole thing you're asking (minus some parts of Poland).
Of course they'd know the score in Cambridge. Most view the compromise of 1867 as a weakening of the monarchy, but it can also be seen as a nationalist reorganisation, wherein each the two dominant ethnicities attempted to subsume the minorities on its side of the Leitha. But even us Slovenes who has long been faithful servants to the Austrian Germans, put up a stubborn resistance against the ensuing Germanisation effort, let alone the other, much wilder, less integrated minorities on the Hungarian side.
This.
He forgot Hungarian use too speak German and Latin.
beak-nosed swarthy peoples created the civilization though
Serbs are not "swarty"
the division should be between north slavs and south slavs. the east-west slav paradigm is stupid
Why do Czechs hate their fellow Slavs so much
Because they're Germans only larping as Slavs due to Habsburg mismanagement.
because slavs are self hating
Delicious bait
Because as Hitler warned everybody about, >muh Comintern.
It wasn't possible, and varying levels of autonomy were viewed as the best way to prevent revolts.
>They are all one homogeneous group so it wouldn’t have been too hard.
Austria, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium and Switzerland speak the same language but i don't see them trying to subjugate each other...
Utterly moronic, pan-slavism was just another shitty excuse for russia to conquer more stuff
So Anglo-Sino is okay?
I'd just like to say this is a D/C joke website and you should all go outside
It's raining outside.
>They are all one homogeneous group
kek, russian really are mongol rapebabies
Polish women I KNEEL
>Polish women I KNEEL
Why?
Some obnoxious LARPer is spamming something about Polish women being really pretty and based, it's very strange
Like people from Asia, wanted French waifu?
How do I get one of these for Croatia?
run facemorph software.
>face software
Wow you sure show them.
Yes they are all Black folk.
>Why didn’t the Soviet Union forcibly assimilate all the Slavic nations of Europe into Russia? They are all one homogeneous group so it wouldn’t have been too hard.
Putin is trying to annex Ukraine now and thy are fighting back.
Because it actually would have been difficult and in practice would have lost them the control they had over those nations.
>forcibly assimilate all the Slavic nations of Europe into Russia
What do you mean? We were forced to copycat Soviet union in every aspect. Forced to watch Russian films and television and learning Russian was mandatory.
Prussian should speak Baltic German.

also, they are far far from a homogeneous group. languages aren't mutually intelligible, different forms of christianity, different alphabets etc.
pan-slavism was a sort of ideology in the years 1900 or so
