The strength of the Slavs, the persistence and power of their language, the depth of culture and the middle position on the continent stem from the Slavs’ perception of most of the major cultural and ethical phenomena that took place in Eurasia during the 5th millennium BC. e. — II millennium AD e. The Slavs accepted and absorbed not only the many migrations of Indo-European nomads who went to Europe from the steppes of Central Asia, Southern Siberia, the Urals, from the lower reaches of the Volga, Don, and Dnieper.

The apparent pliability and pliability of the Slavs, their tolerance towards other cultures and peoples is the fruit of millennia, an unceasing series of clashes and victories of the Slavs over the conquerors invading their midst. The innate breadth and melodiousness of Slavic nature, its recklessness and sometimes boundless prowess are also the result of the Slavs’ awareness of the enormity of their lands, the inexhaustibility and vastness of their wealth.
