Résumé
Today we know the Slavic people from their countries in Central and Eastern Europe and Northern Asia, including Ukraine and Russia across to Poland and South to Macedonia, and Bulgaria. Their origins are similar to the Celts and the Visigoths, coming into history from 600CE, as part of the many tribes who attacked the edges of the Roman Empire.
