   • 1919 [1913], Thomas Garrigue Masaryk, “M. A. Bakunin. Revolutionary Anarchism”, in Eden Paul, Cedar Paul, transl., The Spirit of Russia, volume 2, New York: George Allen & Unwin Ltd.; Ruskin House, translation of original in German, via Wikisource, § 93, page 458:

     Marx proposed an antislav combination on the part of Germans, Poles, and Magyars, preaching russophobia, czechophobia, and croatophobia. Bakunin, on the other hand, in the Appeal to the Slavs (1848) which was so strongly criticised by Marx, invited the Slavs to espouse the cause of the Magyars against Windischgrätz.

     [original: Marx verlangt die deutsch-polnisch-madjarische Verbindung gegen die Slawen und predigt Russen-, Tschechen-, Kroatenhaß; und Bakunin fordert, gerade in dem von Marx so scharf kritisierten Aufruf an die Slawne (1848), die Slawen auf, sich gegen Windischgrätz für die Madjaren zu erklären.]

     No one will deny that [Franz] Grillparzer treats the question of German-Czech antagonism, but there is, in our opinion, no evidence of intentional or malicious Czechophobia.

     Apparently, this overall weakness of the Czechs and their lack of memory and dignity (values) can be the reason why they are adoring all their "naked little emperors" wich happen to be given power in their little protectorate - including the psychologically interesting example of that little guy Vasek (?) who always entertains and keeps the world updated about "political" diagnoses of his somewhat overblown Oedipus complex, "feelings," Czecho-phobia (oh, he is quite amusing, for example, when he keeps reassuring us about "the infantility of the Czech pub-lic"; do you say a typical case of "projection"?)[.]

     There were attacks against the Czech community in the country – direct 'Czechophobia', to be understood as opposition to, or even hatred of, the Czechs.
