A mixture of both really. The annoying aspects I find about those Slavic peoples are largely political/historical in nature, while on a cultural and personal level I have very little if any problems with them. Whatever political/historicals problems I have with Poles has not stopped me from having many friends of that ethnicity. Even a few years ago I even grew quite fond of a Polish girl. Same is true with Russians.

Therefore love toward your own nation is not contradictory to love for the whole of mankind; they complement each other. All of the nations are children of God."
