In the middle of the 6th century AD, the Slavs suddenly occupied almost half of our continent: from the Elbe to the Don and from the Baltic to the Aegean. Was it a single ethnic group that unexpectedly quickly colonized almost all of Central and Eastern Europe, or were tribes of very different origins hidden under the name “Slavs”? If so, what united these people, why did they speak the same language, and how did they get a common name?

Our faithful guides in the world of historical investigations, the famous detectives Holmes and Watson, help us answer these questions. Read the results of their latest case, which is called “In the Claws of the Griffin.”
