This training extended to members of all classes, and eventually to women. The movement also spread across all the regions populated by the Slavic culture.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nIn many nations, the organization also served as an early precursor to the Scouting movements. Though officially an institution \"above politics\", the Sokol played an important part in the development of Czech nationalism, providing a forum for the spread of mass-based nationalist ideologies. The articles published in the Sokol journal, lectures held in the Sokol libraries, and theatrical performances at the massive gymnastic festivals called Slets (meaning \"meetings of birds\") helped to craft and disseminate the Czech nationalist mythology and version of history.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e  Postage and Packing :\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  The item will be sent by airmail from The Czech Republic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Please allow 3-4 days delivery time to Europe and up to 7 days worldwide. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"60%\" border=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"74%\"\u003eEnamel Pin Badge(s)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"26%\" align=\"right\"\u003e$4.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" height=\"35\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"200\" align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e  Payment Methods :\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  I prefer payment by Paypal \n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  No personal checks please. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e  Warranty Terms :\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis pin is in the condition described above and as photographed. \u003cbr\u003eIf you are in any way dissatisfied I will happily discuss any problems you have via email.
