In the new local self-government, too the Zemstvo and the new municipal institutions they laboured energetically and to good purpose. Of all this I shall have occasion to speak more fully in future chapters. But what of their Panslavist aspirations?
Bismarck, who did not like the Czar, stated that he did not want war, but waged it "under stress of Panslavist influence ." That some of his Ministers and Generals had less lofty aims is doubtless true; but practically all authorities are now agreed that the maintenance of the European Concert would have been the best means of curbing those aims.
By their theory they were constrained to pay attention to the Slav race as a whole, but they were more Russian than Slav, and more Muscovite than Russian. The Panslavist element consequently occupied a secondary place in Slavophil doctrine.
