Prague Slavic Congress, 1848

[1] Several other Slavic Congresses [de; fr; sl] were held in different central and eastern European cities over the next century.

In addition to lacking a goal, the conference planners also quarreled over the format and the agenda of the gathering.

Once underway, the conference met in three sections: Poles and Ukrainians (at that time Ruthenians); South Slavs; and Czecho-Slovaks.

The Pole-Ukrainian section contained a combination of Ruthenes, Mazurians, Greater Poles, and Lithuanians.

Among arrested was Mikhail Bakunin who became apprehended in Dresden in 1849 for his involvement in 1848 Prague events and deported to the Russian Empire.
