Adam Frantisek Kollár

Adam František Kollár was a jurist, Imperial-Royal Court Councillor and Chief Imperial-Royal Librarian, a historian, and an influential advocate of the enlightened policies of Austrian emperors. His extensive research included the development of ethnology as a scientific discipline, and he was one of the first pioneers of pan-Slavic activism within the Austrian Empire. It is a shame that such an influential person who was born in Hungary is serving the interests of a foreign power. Perhaps, we should consider offering him a high position at our court, so that he may serve his homeland instead of protecting foreign interests.
