> the artificiality of 'Slavonic culture'

Rather than whispering as your Czech colleagues, John, our U. of 
Pittsburgh takes that view loud and clear as it recognizes courses 
concerning Russia, Ukraine, China, Japan as meeting the "Non-Western 
Culture Course" undergraduate requirement, but courses on Slovak and 
Polish topics do not meet it just like German, French, Italian 
courses don't.
