It is a historical fact that the objective conditions for the successful practical implementation of the idea of regional European integration first emerged in Central and Eastern Europe. However, the theoretical basis and first practical attempts to uptake the ideas of European states unity have deep historical roots, which should be taken into account in the study of modern European integration processes. Each of the European actors (Germans, Austrians, Czechs, Slovaks) has a unique historical experience of regional and continental policies formation and implementation. The first half of the 19th century was marked by the beginning of the active national self-determination process of the peoples of Central and Southeast Europe. At this stage of history traditions were being destroyed, nations began to emerge, and Slavic politicians worked on the content of their national projects. And the final result of many politicians’ plans of the Austrian Empire was the construction of national states. In any case, the national ideologists’ positive attitude towards the idea of a civilized cultural unity of the peoples of Europe remained unchanged. It was on its basis that the keystone of national ideologies was built. Accordingly, the aim of the article has been to study the idea of Austro-Slavism as the theoretical project of integration of the peoples of Central and Eastern Europe. The research has proved that in the 1830’s and 1840’s ethnic European elites directed their intelligence towards the formation of their national and cultural framework. Therefore the organization of the Slavic Congress in 1848 became a reaction to the national processes in Europe. The Congress should be considered as one of the links in the overall chain of growing European nationalism. At the Slavic Assembly the Czechs put forward the idea of federalist Austro-Slavism. The idea itself was quite often valued mainly as a small, regional Slavic- Austrian project. Such an assessment should be considered as somewhat incomplete. The materials of the Congress confirm that the idea of Austro- Slavism should be considered as a promising concept in terms of determining the future of the united Europe. European Thought, as part of a comprehensive idea of the unity of European civilization, gradually became a spiritual tradition that passed from generation to generation of the Slavic politicians. The basis for numerous projects of the “United Europe” was laid. Only today the European community can understand that a new ideological content of the emancipation of the monarchy was laid in the federalist approach — the implementation of a supranational construction of a state that in the long run could be a model of Pan-European significance.

National movement and further development of national benchmarks of the European peoples at the beginning of the revolution of 1848–1849 are one of the most socio-political contextualized pages in the past of the Slavik peoples in Europe. The research is considered to be topical since the process of formation of national ideology in the 19th century, that occured in the Slavs environment, took place in terms of distribution of the national principle and state formation in the majority of the European countries. The purpose of the research is to enlighten the course, laws and specifics of formation of the national paradigm at the beginning of the revolution of 1848–1849. The object of the study is the national movement of the Slavs, the subject of scientific analysis is the national ideology developing under the influence of both internal and external factors. To achieve the main goal of the research the author has considered it to be necessary to solve a number of the following tasks: to scientifically, logically, argumentatively and coherently lay out specifics of the process of Slavic national ideology formation and reveal its main features. It should be emphasized that by the beginning of the revolution the national patriotic mood was not limited merely by the demand of the cultural reforms, it gradually transformed into the context of new political and socio-economic ideas. At the same time, in the meaning of national paradigm of the Slavic National Movement the idea of its moderation or passive opposition actualized drastically. In general, national paradigm was a certain mixture of political ideas, in which political freedom – democracy, social and personal guarantees – took a somewhat secondary place, the struggle for the national justice with its moral and cultural principles, became dominant. On the eve of the 1848 revolution western Slavs were involved in the process of modernizing their national ideology. Al though this process was an all-European phenomen on and large ethnic units were under going self-determination, the spiritual renaissance of the western Slavs had specific regional and ethnic characteristics, thus attracting the political attention of the governments of great empires – the Austrian and the Russian. For Russia, the biggest Slavonic country, the idea of the general Slavonic ethnic unity as well as the Pan-Slavistic ideology were not only of scientific character, but also served as a factor of geopolitical interest
