Russians felt a cultural and historical connection to the Slavic peoples and saw them as fellow Eastern Europeans. Defending the Slavs was believed to strengthen Russia's influence in the region and protect their perceived interests. Additionally, supporting fellow Slavic nations helped bolster Russia's identity as a defender of Slavic values and traditions.
