Никола Пашич и Россия. Из истории взаимоотношений
Nikola Pašić and Russia. from the History of Mutual Relations

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a review of various opinions regarding the nature of Nikola Pašić’s Russophilism. Some historians and publicists believe that it was purely pragmatic, while others emphasize the Russian-Serbian Slavic and confessional unity as a decisive factor. The second part of the paper directly discusses the nature of Pašić’s “unconditional” choice of Russophilism. According to the author, it stems from different understandings of the further lines of the development of Serbia after 1878. While King Milan Obrenović and the Advanced Party were pro-West oriented, Pašić and the Radical Party, like all Russian Slavophiles, were in favor of preserving Serbian identity. Finally, the author gives a short history of practical relationships of Nikola Pašić and Russian official circles and society.
