"It is in vain to say that democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious, or less avaricious than aristocracy or monarchy. It is not true, in fact, and nowhere appears in history. Those passions are the same in all men, under all forms of simple government, and when unchecked, produce the same effects of fraud, violence, and cruelty."
"I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born."
Classical Conservatism, also called Traditionalist Conservatism, is a type of conservative that focuses on traditions stemming from before 
the Enlightenment.
ClassCons emphasize the need for the principles of a transcendent moral order, the bonds of social order, and the defense of ancestral institutions over what they consider as 
excessive individualism.
They also place a strong emphasis on 
authority and 
tradition among other things. Civically speaking, the ideology can vary between moderately authoritarian (most ClassCons) to somewhat libertarian (Burke, for example).
Despite being culturally right, they are generally neither 
nationalist (with the exception of the modern day) nor 
reactionary (although the latter is debatable).
History
Classical Conservatism, or rather Toryism can be said to originate in late 17th-century England, in which there was a dispute over the right of the Catholic James, brother of King Charles II, to succeed the throne. Those who supported James were known as Tories, and their ideology Toryism. Tories were generally staunch monarchists and Anglicans, and favoured agrarianism over industrialism, in addition to being opposed to radical reform such as that advocated for by 
Foxites.
Variants
American Whig Party
The Whig Party in the United States first emerged in the 1830s in opposition to Andrew Jackson's Democratic Party. The name Whig was intentionally chosen as being in opposition to monarchy. In the same way that the British Whigs opposed absolute monarchy, the American Whigs opposed "King Andrew" and his policies. Unlike the British Whigs whose main ideology is 
Classical Liberalism, the American Whigs were much more conservative. They supported an economic system put forward by 
Henry Clay known as the "American System" which favored protective tariffs, a strong national bank, and federal subsidies for infrastructure. The Whig Party was also critical of Manifest Destiny and criticized the presidential power of Jackson and Polk, preferring Congress to be the dominant lawmaker.
The Whig Party struggled to gain power through the presidency. In 1836 they ran four different presidential candidates against 
Martin Van Buren, which backfired against them and allowed Van Buren to achieve a comfortable victory. By 1840 Van Buren had become unpopular due to the Panic of 1837 and 
William Henry Harrison was able to defeat Van Buren in the Election of 1840. Harrison died just one month into his presidency and 
John Tyler, who was only nominally a Whig, took over as the next president. Tyler was eventually expelled from the Whig Party for disagreeing with much of the Whigs' economic policy, including a veto on Clay's bill to establish a national bank.
The Whigs were able to win back the White House in 1848 with 
Zachary Taylor, however, he died one year into his presidency leaving 
Millard Fillmore in charge. Fillmore is often described as being the closest the Whigs got to a full presidency. During Fillmore's presidency, the Compromise of 1850 was passed which meant Fillmore had to enforce the deeply unpopular Fugitive Slave Act. This divided the Whig Party between pro-compromise and anti-compromise factions which they were never able to recover.
After 1852 the Whig Party was never able to obtain real power again and was eventually replaced by the pro-abolitionist Republican Party with many Republicans such as 
Abraham Lincoln, 
Rutherford Hayes, 
Chester Arthur, and 
Benjamin Harrison all being former Whigs.
Traditional Conservatism
Traditional Conservatism is like modern conservatism in many ways, such as acceptance of a basic welfare state and support for free market policies and nationhood. However they tend to have more radical views on social issues, such as LGBT and women's rights, being seen as the radical wing of modern conservative parties occupying similar roles to Addington did to Pitt. Traditional Conservatives are nearly entirely extremely religious, more often than not the dominant religion of their home country, and are strongly against moderation and acceptance of social consensuses such as the gay rights (which are now, in Europe, considered centrist) and abortion (similar, in Europe alone) historically they would've opposed women's suffrage too but they have accepted that that is going to stay. If they are active within a monarchy they can be strong defenders of the monarchy as well as being able to work with 
Paternalistic Conservatism and 
Conservative Liberalism in order to advance their own goals of tradition, morality and faith.
Galician Russophilia
Galician Russophilia was the ideology of the Russophile (Called Muscophile by it's opposition) movement in Eastern Galicia, Bukovina and Carpathian Ruthenia in the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century.
It mainly formed after the revolutions of 1848. The revolution in Galicia wasn't as brutal as in, per say, Hungary or Germany, but it made political tensions between Poles and Ukrainians more apparent. The Ukrainian side mainly constituted of 3 groups of movements: The 
Ukrainophiles (Narodovtsi), who were Ukrainian nationalists and mostly socialists that advocated for an independent Ukraine, the 
Polonophiles that believed that the Ruthenians of East Galicia should be under Polish rule and the 
Russophiles, which considered Galician Ruthenians as a part of the wider Russian Nation. The Russophiles mainly constituted of the aristocracy and the Orthodox clergy, which made them unpopular among the mostly rural population of the region. To combat this, the Russophiles promised that the servitude under Polish nobles will end once Russia takes the region. This made the movement a lot more popular.
Between the 1850's and 1880's the Russophiles constituted the majority of Ruthenian members of the Austrian parliament.
As Austria began supporting the Ukrainophile movement, the Russophiles began to fall out of prevalence, and by the 1900's lost most of their voters.
During WW1 suspected Russophiles were deported to the Thalerhoff concentration camp by Austria while some Russophile politicians helped Russia assert it's rule during the occupation of Galicia. After the Great Retreat of 1915 a lot of Russophile Galician politicians fled to Russia.
During the Interwar period the movement regained some popularity, especially in 
Carpathian Ruthenia.
After WW2 the movement finally died off as a lot of it's members were killed (By both German and Soviet Authorities), and their parties, publishing centers and communities were banned.
During this time they developed a literary language called Iazychie (Язычіе), which, in essence, was Church Slavonic mixed with Pre-Reform Russian with additional local words and sentences. It's supporters claimed it to be a standardisation of the "Galician dialect of Russian". The language was criticised for being artificial by many Ruthenian writers and Linguists of Galicia, especially the Ukrainophile ones. This language de-facto remained in use in Carpathian Ruthenia until 1945.
