How do the Slavophiles differ from the Westernizers?

Slavophiles: defended the point of view that Russia has its own, distinctive path of development. They did not consider the orientation of Russia towards Western countries. They were skeptical about the reforms of Peter I. Western reforms must be adapted to the specifics of Russia.

Westerners: viewed Russia as an integral part of European civilization. We strove to ensure that Russia adopted the achievements and the best experience of European countries. Westerners also sharply criticized serfdom. Peter I was considered an example of a ruler, since he brought Western ideas and values ​​to Russia.
