  • Slavic is the largest linguistic group in Europe, but what are the origins of the Slavic language and people? Where did they come from and how did they come to have such a prominent place in Europe? Looking at ancient history, archaeology, linguistics and genetics we investigate the origins of the Slavic people and how they came to possess the lands they now hold.

    The Slavs were not the last tribes of Europeans that accepted Christianity. Actually this process began in the VIII century in the south, and by the year 1000 all Slavic rulers were baptized. The last to be christened were Lithuanians, which happened gradually in the XIV century, and was fulfilled by the baptizing of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Jogaila who became the king of Poland and established the Polish Lithuanian Union. The pesants, however resisted christianization in a long time, as was also the case of Celtic and Germanic tribes.

      It seems to have been an Indo-European tradition too. It was similar among Germanic and Greek people to show hospitality.
      In the Norse saga “Thors visit to Jotunheim” Thor and Loki call for hospitality from a farmer and his family who must feed them as honoured guests.
      These traditions may go back to before our languages even separated.

      One of the possible reasons for this hospitality is that according to legend, the god Perun would often assume the form of a traveler and walk amongst his people to see how they conducted themselves. And if you refused him hospitality, you would be punished or cursed. So people assumed that a traveler might be their top god in disguise and spared no expense in accommodating them.

      In Greek myth, there is a story where Zeus goes to a village, expecting hospitality. All the village but the last couple deny him it. In turn, Zeus tells the hospitable couple to flee and not look back, while he floods the village. (at least that's my recollection of the story).

The slavs are the only ethnics in Europe who can destroy each other". Considering what happen in Ukraine just now he was right. Many of slavic countries hate Russians and are ready to join the West and go to war against them. The biggest haters seems to be Poles and Ukrainians.

    Minor correction for the use of the word 'slava': As you said, it means glory, but to get the meaning 'glory to', the next word needs the dativ case.
    So 'glory to god' is 'slava bogu'. 'Slava boga', on the other hand, means someting like 'glory of god' (in Russian at least).
    For 'Glory to Ukraine', it should be 'slava Ukraini' in Ukrainian (in Russian it would be 'slava Ukrainye').
    'Slava Ukraina' just means 'Glory Ukraine', which doesn't really mean anything.

    All respect to this video. Slavs are the most underestimated group of people in Europe even though they represent the half of Europe and it's a shame that the world just started to get familiar with them. The most underestimated among them are the Southern Slavs on the Balkans. Even though we - the Southern Slavs are about 50% Slavs and 50% the old Europeans, we are among the first who adopted Christianity. There are many evidences the the first apostles had spreaded Christianity on the Balkans and the early Christians built the first churches there. Constantine The Great - Byzantine (Roman) emperor, born in the city of Niš (Serbia), was the one who made Christianity legal in the empire (4th century) and we can find a number of evidences of early Christianity all around Serbia and other Balkans countries. That's the reason why Serbian medieval kings and rulers were so devoted to faith and many of them became saints after they died. So it is very wrong to look for the roots of Christianity in Russia and or any other East European countries other then Serbia and Bulgaria and claiming how Slavs adopted Christianity later then Western European peoples.
    My advice - start making efforts in researching more about the history and pre-history of the Balkans, open your mind and stop listening to the British propaganda. You will be pleasantly surprised and find out that the whole history of Europe and European languages and its secrets lays here - in the Balkans that represents the true cradle of Europe. (The first permanent settlements in Europe, the first metallurgy, the first agriculture, the first alphabet, the first urban planning... many of those before the first known from the Middle East).

That the city of Great Novgorod, where Rurik established Russia, was originally called "Slovensk" and that original city was built there by Slavs around 5 thousand or so years ago.

    I am a Slav, southern Slav from Bosnia and Herzegovina. We all understand words such as
    ČOVJEK ZEMLJA VODA ZRAK
    SLAVA RODU, RAZUM, KURVA, SKITNICA and many more.
    Even when i listen to other slavic people and languages i understand 70 percent. I see the roots in those words.

    Being Polish, I have no doubts that "slavs" was based on the word "slowo" which means "word" vs the name for the Germans or "Niemcy" those who can't talk. Additionally Swiatowid (main god of the Slavs) means one who sees (widzi) the world (swiat). That is why he is portrayed looking in four directions.

      Slaveny Vs Slovany.
      One would be Glory the other Words.
      Most commonly or the Word part that makes any historic sense.
      This is the same thing as with Mir which in most Slavic languages simply means peace... In eastern ones, especially Russian, it also means Land... But no one knows why.
      Plus Russians are... How to put it. Russian is the least mutually understandable Slavic language by the rest. There are even more similar parties between Ukrainian and Polish than there are between Ukrainian and Russian.
      So... Russian is not exactly the best language to pick for deep diving into Slavism and Slavic similarities. (Hence why you also use Germania for Germany rather than Nemci like the rest).

      Additionally.
      In the old times between the first centuries BC and 500 As, Germanic people's and Slavic peoples lived and inhabited many similar areas with nuclear borders.
      To highlight that one Spoke and one didn't speak the same tongue would make far more sense.
      Although there is a chance the word Slovo and Slava are of common origin, where the fact that you speak makes you "glorious" and not some military battles.

      yes that makes much more sense, since we are called in serbian "sloveni" and the word is called "slovo". who knows whats the truth really, since recorded history about the slavs is not that far spread when it comes to our origin. we do say "nemci" for germans which for us does derive from the word "nem", meaning "mute" or in this case people who are mute.

    It can easily be imagined that Cucuten > Trypillian people became assimilated by the Yamna neighbours and that they spread as a minority lineage alongside haplogroups R1a and R1b as they advanced toward the Baltic with the Corded Ware expansion. Alternatively, I2-L621 lineages could have lived in relative isolation from the mainstream Proto-Indo-European society somewhere around Ukraine, Poland or Belarus, then as the centuries and millennia passed, would have blended with the predominantly R1a populations around them. The resulting amalgam would have become the ancestors of the Proto-Slavs.

      All this is very interesting and wonderful about the haplogroups of the Trypillian-Cucuteni population. Especially when you consider that 99% of the few known burials are cremations, and DNA cannot be extracted from ashes and coals. What is absolutely certain is that they were not Indo-Europeans and cultural continuity with the subsequent population is not archaeologically confirmed.
