Slavs

Slavs are a group of ethnic peoples primarily located in Eastern Europe, with significant populations in Russia, Poland, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, among others. They share cultural and linguistic ties, speaking Slavic languages, which are part of the larger Indo-European language family. The Slavic people are often divided into three main branches: West Slavs (like Poles and Czechs), East Slavs (like Russians and Ukrainians), and South Slavs (like Serbs and Bulgarians). Throughout history, Slavs have made notable contributions to art, music, literature, and have diverse traditions shaped by their unique historical experiences.
