We review a case of cross-fertilization of two distinct areas of physics, namely, hadronic and electroweak theory. In hadronic physics, concepts like solitons, nonperturbative and nonlinear phenomena, and anomalies have found many applications in the Skyrme model of baryons. This has in turn given a large additional impetus to the studies of such concepts and phenomena in electroweak physics too. To close the circle, these studies give us clues how to represent the other kind of hadrons, namely mesons, as solitons of the Skyrme type.
