The 19th century movement
Pan-Slavism was an aspect of
romantic nationalism. The political legitimacy of the state was seen as a natural ("organic") consequence of race; in the spirit of
Romanticism and opposed to
Enlightenment rationalism
?. The actual political movement arose in the Austro-Hungarian
? and
Ottoman Empires. The first Pan-Slav convention was held in
Prague in
1848 and was specifically anti-Russian. The relationship of the Russians and the [Russian Empire]
? to the movement was always troubled.
Like other romantic nationalist movements, scholars in the developing fields of history, philology, and folklore actively encouraged feelings of shared identity.
