Slavophiles sought total religious, political, and national uniformity in a pan-Slav empire.

Evidence

This was already recognized by the Russian Jesuit, Prince Ivan S. Gagarin, in his pamphlet La Russie sera-t-elle catholique? (1856) in which he attacked the Slavophiles because “they wish to establish the most complete religious, political, and national uniformity. In their foreign policy, they wish to fuse all Orthodox Christians of whatever nationality, and all Slavs of whatever religion, in a great Slav and Orthodox empire.” — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 2423
