The three colors of pan-slavism-blue,white,red
Pan-Slavism is an ideology concerned with the advancement of integrity and unity for the Slavic peoples.It is on the rise since the first Pan-Slavic congress in 1848 and became even more popular after the south slavs were liberated(Bulgaria was liberated in 1878 from the Ottoman Empire and was the last country to be ruled by another nation.)
When the Balkan war ended the Russian pan-slavists weren't happy with the inactivity of Nicholas II.For now they they aren't armed and the police is trying to stop them for doing anything,but they demand changes.They decided to turn to Mikhail Rodzianko,as he is the chairman of the State Duma,however nothing happened,as the State Duma doesn't have any power.The Tsar was afraid that this might happen ever since the London Conference a few months earlier.He was to make a speech in front of the people.
,,Many people remember the liberation of Bulgaria and how much we helped the other Slavic nations the same year.We helped for the creation of the new Bulgarian state.And every time we want to help Slavic or orthodox nations we are always stopped by the Ottoman Empire and the other West non- Slavic countries.We could not help the Balkan League in the war,because most of the European nations would go to the Ottoman side.We can help the Balkans with their economies and the reparations.I hope the people won't forget this."​
But he did nothing,no money were given to the Balkan state and didn't help the people From the Balkans.
The people demand a change,not in the way in which the Tsar rules,Nicholas OK is not popular ,they want to become democracy like the western countries.Russia was an undeveloped nation and the monarchy deepens the problem,it doesn't solve it.The new Pan-Slavic party wanted democracy in Russia and Unity between the slavs.The party is led by Pavel Nikolayevich Miliukov,who has spent many years in the Balkans.The slogan of the party is Slavic peoples,unite!

In the Balkans the situation is even worse ,the people revolt every day,because none of the countries can afford the reparations.
Very important were the people in the Ottoman lands,they created revolutionary organizations,Many revolutionaries became popular in the free independent nations as they stood up against the Ottomans.They usually communicate with the Balkan League and tried to hurt the Ottoman State.
The Ottomans treated the people in cruel and inhuman ways which is against the Treaty of Berlin,but for now the Great Powers don't do anything about it.
All this led to a secret meeting between the four Balkan monarchs.
