Abstract: The subject of this research is the certain aspects of creation of international organizations of the Slavic people from the perspective of the history of law, as well as the work of the contemporary public organizations and parties. This article reviews the role of congresses of the Slavic people which were held in the XIX centuries in Central Europe and Moscow; the participation of Russian in this process is also being examined. Attention is given to the “European vector” of the strengthening of intergovernmental relations in the area of cooperation of the Slavic people, as well as to the role of the inter-parliamentary collaboration between Russian and Belarus. The main conclusion consists in the thesis about the necessity of taking into account of the historical and international-legal institutional approaches towards the research of the consolidation process of the Slavic people throughout the XIX-XX centuries. The international organizations of the Slavic unity differ by their goals and the number of members. At the same time, the importance of Russia as a nation that has specific, objectively justified relations with the Slavic nations of Central and Eastern Europe, is growing. The current state of the work of public organizations and political parties in this direction requires revision of the entire complex of the relations with the neighboring countries for the purpose of establishing peace and neighborliness.
