Summary/Abstract: The presented text is an introduction to the study of the formation of the Intermarium, which in the 19th and 20th centuries included countries that lacked political existence or had limited sovereignty. This fact has now conditioned the identity of these peoples in the space between Western democracy and Russian autocracy. The peoples of the Intermarium were under the dominance of other countries, so they did not participate in the formation of modern nation-states in the 19th century. The text is an attempt to outline the formation of the political system of Western Europe (Latin), which constituted the starting point for the countries of the Intermarium in creating their own political systems (after 1989).
