Slavophile

A slavophile was an advocate of the supremacy of Slavic culture over that of others, especially Western European culture. Slavophilism was strongest in 19th century Russia and had mostly died out by the 20th century.

In the more modern sense, the term slavophile applies to an admirer of Slavic culture, as opposed to a Slavic supremist.
