5 For example, Prof. Hoffman characterizes Switzerland as a “multinational state.” I think that, in spite of its multilingual and multi-ethnic composition, Switzerland has developed into a single political nation.

7 For instance, double words like “nation” and “people” (English), “nation” and “peuple” (French), “Nation” and “Volk” (German), and “natsia” and “naros” (Russian) can be found in practically all European languages. In the corresponding terms in Czech (“národ” and “lid”) and Slovak (“národ” and “l'ud”) the first of these words (“národ”) was used for a long time—even in the twentieth century—to express almost the same meaning as that of the second of the double words in German (“Volk”).
