The Slavs are one of the major language groups of Europe. The Slavs occupy much of Eastern Europe. They are important because there are so many of them.

Russia is the largest Slavic nation. Others are (from north to south):

Poland, Belarus, Czech Republic, Slovakia, All of former Yugoslavia except Kosovo (Yugoslavia = southern Slavs), Ukraine and Bulgaria.

Non-slavic nations in Eastern Europe include Finland, the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), Hungary and Romania.
