Summary/Abstract: The article is a review of the book by Slovak historian Miroslav Lysý «Moravians, Moimir Dynasty, and Frankish Empire. Studies on Ethnogenesis, Political Institutions, and Power System in the territory of Slovakia in the early Middle Ages» (Bratislava 2014), which addresses the problems of early medieval ethnicity, polito-genesis, and political relations between Moravia and the Carolingian Empire. The reviewer notes that Lysý’s approach to the subject is characterized, above all, by increased attention to the authentic terminology of sources, as well as by deep insight into previous historiographical attempts of studying Moravian social development with taking into account their internal logic, philosophical background and socio-political implications. The author of the review considered Lysý’s book to be an important step towards «understanding Moravia».
