[Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk (born tomáš Garrigue Masaryk), often abbreviated as TGM; March 7, 1850, Göding, Moravia, Austrian Empire, — September 14, 1937, Lani, Czechoslovakia) — Czech sociologist and philosopher, public and statesman, one of the leaders of the movement for the independence of Czechoslovakia, and after the creation of the state — the first President of the Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1935).

Critically assessing both poles of contemporary Czech political thought — austroslavism and Russophile pan-Slavism, Masaryk held a pragmatic point of view, trying to determine whose support the Slavs can count on in the future, and offered to seek help from Western Europe and the United States. In the work "Russia and Europe. Essay on spiritual trends in Russia" he attempted to debunk the myth of Russia's saving mission in relation to the Slavic peoples. Unlike Russophile pan-Slavism, which saw in Orthodoxy and absolutism virtues that could revive the Slavs, Masaryk considered tsarism the main evil, making it impossible to help the Slavs from the Russian Empire, as well as hindering the development of Russia itself. Masaryk supported the first Russian revolution as a step towards getting rid of absolutism, a movement towards democracy.

According to Masaryk, the Russian people were mostly uneducated and inclined to mysticism, and therefore Russia, despite the presence of great literature and military success, lagged behind the civilized world and represented Europe of the middle Ages. Russian Russian nihilism Masaryk considered a vulgar form of semi-education, and Bolshevism — the triumph of Russian uneducation. Masaryk proved this point in his article "On Bolshevism", written in the form of a lecture for Czechoslovak workers: "...in Russia you will not find either communism or socialism, and all because the Russian people are simply not educated enough for socialism." Masaryk called the leaders of the Bolsheviks people of the same book. Masaryk considered the white movement as amateurish as the Bolshevik government, and stopped the attempt of the first Czechoslovak Prime Minister Karel Kramarj to involve the Czechoslovak legions in active participation in the Russian civil war.

Russian Russian leader Masaryk considered the Communist government temporary, unable to strengthen itself in the country, and therefore organized a program of assistance to Russian emigrants, called "Russian action", which aimed to train a young generation of specialists in all fields of knowledge who would take a worthy place in the future democratic Russia. In 1922, in a Memorandum entitled "assistance to Russia from Europe and America", which Masaryk sent to the governments of many European countries, he gave the ideological justification for the "Russian action".

Jan Garrigue Masaryk (Czech: 14 September 1886, Prague, Austria-Hungary — 10 March 1948, Czechoslovakia) was a Czechoslovak diplomat and statesman. In 1940-1948 — Minister of foreign Affairs of Czechoslovakia. Son of the first President of Czechoslovakia, Tomas Masaryk.

After the liberation of Czechoslovakia and the end of world war II, Masaryk remained as the country's foreign Minister. Despite the multiparty system, the Communist party of Czechoslovakia, led by Clement Gottwald, had the greatest influence in the country, and their positions were strengthened after the elections in 1946.

Masaryk was concerned about the policy of the Communists, who established close ties with the USSR and refused to participate in Czechoslovakia in the implementation of the Marshall plan. In February 1948, most of the non-Communist members of the Cabinet resigned, hoping for the dissolution of the government and new elections, but instead a new, Pro-Communist government was formed by the Communists. What happened went down in history as the February events in Czechoslovakia. Masaryk, in turn, did not take part in the speeches and remained the Minister of foreign Affairs. He was the only non-partisan Minister in Gottwald's Cabinet.]
