The article aims at introducing the activity of the famous Polish linguist, Jan Baudouin de Courtenay. He defended Slovaks, who, having no statehood, were deprived of national and cultural rights at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The Slovaks appreciated it and they reprinted extensive fragments of his work 'Slovaks and the crown of saint Stephan'. As a result Hungarian state authorities brought a file against the editors of 'Narodnie noviny'. Also when the Czechoslovakian Republic was established, the Slovaks did not feel as its full citizens and Baudouin commented on this, criticising mostly the doctrine of one nation and one Czechoslovakian language. And so Jan Baudouin de Courtenay is regarded among Slovaks as a friend and a defender.
