Antun Sa''ade and the ideology of pansyrianism
The article is devoted to the greatest ideologist of PanSyrian-ism - Antun Sa‘adeh (1904-1949). The author considers Sa‘ade’s biography, political activity, and ideological principles of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP) which he created. The party SSNP expressed the resurgence of the revival of the Syrian nation and the creation of a single state on the lands of the Graceful Crescent. The doctrine of PanSyrianism is one of the most interesting examples of Middle Eastern nationalist ideologies, which largely determined the political development of the region in the 20<sup>th</sup> century.
