...East but to the West's bright horizons. Though Old Masaryk was the first European statesman to realize that Russian Bolshevism was here to stay, and must be reckoned with as a force in firm control of a mighty world power, he never fell for Pan-Slavism, unceasingly taught his people to consider themselves a part of the democratic, Christian, western world...
...fears moved much of Europe to fall in with Hitler's bloody crusade. The strongest was fear of Germany, which now ruled the Continent and its puppet governments. The second was fear of Pan-Slavism, which was rooted in many Europeans, especially Germans and Scandinavians, long before Karl Marx was born...
...goes to Solovyev chiefly for the light which he sheds on Tolstoy, his inveterate opponent in religion, and on Dostoievsky.

Another important difference, intimately related to the Pan-Slav question, is that Czechoslovakia is opposed to the award of Galicia to Poland, because such an arrangement interferes with Czecho-Slovakian plans for a Pan-Slav corridor reaching from Russia...
