A brief history The Slavic Peoples
Slide 2
Origin of the Slavic People There is some debate among
historians about where the Slavs originated. Many believe that they
were early farmers who cultivated the fertile lands around the
Black Sea. Others believe that they came from present day eastern
Poland. They are one of the largest ethnic groups in Europe
today.
Slide 3
Origin of the Slavic People By 500 A.D., the Slavs had
separated into three main groups. Each of these three groups shared
a similar set of beliefs & a similar lifestyle. West Slavs
South Slavs Eastern Slavs

Scandinavian tribes & still live in the same area today. They
live in Poland, Czech Republic, & Slovakia They are mostly
Roman Catholic.
Slide 5
South Slavs Invaded the Balkan Peninsula & took it from the
Byzantine Empire. Bosnia, Serbia, Bulgaria, etc. (Bulgars = mix of
Slavs & Thracians) The three most common religions are Roman
Catholic because they were close to Rome, Greek Orthodox because
they were by the Byzantine Empire and Muslim, because the area was
conquered by Muslims. You can see the effects of the division of
the Roman Empire into two parts because the line passed through
this area. This area has seen lots of ethnic & religious
tension over the centuries.
Slide 6
East Slavs The largest Slavic groups. Russia & the Ukraine
Are mostly Greek Orthodox because of missionaries from the
Byzantine Empire. Because of their location between western Europe,
the Byzantine Empire & Asia, they are a unique mix of all three
groups.

Slavic Lifestyle They lived in small villages consisting mostly
of relatives. They farmed the land, growing a variety of grains
& vegetables. They also hunted their thick woodlands for meat.
They lived in log cabins which were nice, even by todays standards.

land.

Russia In 860 AD the Eastern Slavs asked the Vikings to help
them keep law & order. Rurik the Rus came over to rule &
thats where we get the name Russia. In 880 AD, Ruriks successor
conquered the small village of Kiev on the Dnieper River. It became
a powerful center for trade. This is the origin of the Ukrainian
peoples. The Ukraine is one of the richest farmlands in the
world.

Empire signed a peace treaty opening the door for trade & the
spreading of culture & religion & science & technology.

their ancestors.

Conquered In the 13 th century, a series of disagreements over
who should rule led to them being conquered by the Mongol Empire
under Genghis Khan & were ruled by them for 200 years. This
kept the East Slavs from adopting western culture. Over time,
Moscow became a center for the East Slavs to unite against Mongol
rule & gradually spread throughout Asia. This would culminate
with Russia moving east & becoming the worlds largest
country.

Moscow When Ivan the Great married the niece of the last
Byzantine Emperor, he became Czar (Caesar). Moscow was nicknamed
the Third Rome when the Byzantine Empire fell in 1453 AD. All Czars
from Ivan the Great until the 20 th century claimed to rule through
their ancestry leading back to the Roman Empire.

created an alphabet so they could translate Greek religious texts
to Slavic. It was widely used by the 10 th century. Its a mixture
of Greek letters & new letters to represent Slavic sounds.
