Summary/Abstract: There is no work yet in which Slavic statistics have been studied by a professional comparative method. Researchers of the Slavic world have been content with mere — usually only approximate — findings of the number of members of the Slavic peoples. At this stage, there is still a “statistical-ethnographic overview of contemporary Slavism”, which is what the book by Prof. T. D. Florinsky »Славянское йлемя« aims to be; in addition to data concerning the number of individual Slavic peoples, we find only mentions of the confessional relations of some of them. Only Prof. L. Niederle systematically took into account in his “Slavic World” the most important demographic elements such as population density, population growth, age, occupation and literacy. // In this study I can limit myself to compiling the most important statistical data on the Slavic peoples and Slavic states, as far as statistical sources allow. The scientific study of the population problems of the Slavic peoples is only a task for the future.
