The paper offers a concise insight into the formation of a more detailed conception of the so-called ‘Slavism’, as it had been established in the first half of the 19th century in Russia. The focus is on the historical-political views discernible in the poems of Fyodor I. Tyutchev (1803–1873), who based his personal view of contemporary Europe on his diplomatic sojourn in Western Europe. Included are an overview of the development of the so-called Slavic idea, along with its influence on Russian philosophy, and a comparative characterisation of the Slavism concept, which was present in the Slovenian provinces in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
