Description

Rare Russian-language ethnographic map of Eastern Europe, published in Kyiv by the ethnologist T. D. Florinsky (Т. Д. Флоринскимь) in 1911, immediately before the Balkan Wars and the First World War.

Ethnographic distribution in Eastern Europe was a matter of critical importance at the time. The collapse of the Ottoman Empire had left minority and majority populations vying for power and attempting to draw compatible national borders. The Russian Pan-Slavic approach collided with Austro-Hungarian imperialist ambitions, while the growth of Serbian nationalism threatened neighboring states. In short, the region was an ethnographic powder keg.

The map shows some 21 ethnic groups, of which three are Russian. An inset map in the lower left shows the global extent of Slavic populations, perhaps belying a pro-Slavic approach to the map.

We find several references to T. D. Florinsky throughout the academic record. It appears that he was an active member of circles that studied ethnography and that he published several relevant works in the field, including a report entitled On the question of the nationality of the Macedonian Slavs.

This map was printed by V. L. Voitsekhovskii (В. Л. Войцъховскимь) and published by the St. Petersburg Slavic-Blavyansk Charitable Society.

The final ethnicity listed is the Jewish population (Евреи), which is indicated on the map with the color grey.
