Abstract

Nikolai Trubetzkoy’s periodization of the history of Slavic languages, taking the end of the Common Slavic period to be in the 12th century, was known after the second world war, under the Soviet occupation of Hungary. It could be mentioned in university lectures and in textbooks, but it was rejected by Hungarian philologists without any argumentation. The author of the article supposes that the behavior of the Hungarian Slavists was determined in this respect, too, by the official attitude of the Soviet Union to the emigré Prince Trubetzkoy.
