Decree of the Supreme Council of the USSR from 22 January 1946 since its publication, appears legally null and void.
To the authorities of the USA, EU, Russia, Ukraine, representatives of regional authorities, and the media.
To this is attached a Resolution of the Scientifically practical conference on the topic: "65 years of the tragic (for the fate of the Ruthenian people) Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the USSR from Jan. 22, 1946",
held in Uzhgorod on 22. 01. 2011.
Scientifically practical conference on the topic: "65 years of the tragic (for the fate of the Ruthenian people) Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the USSR from Jan. 22, 1946",
Uzhgorod, 22. 01. 2011.

Resolution:
In January 22, 1946, Presidium of the Supreme Council of the USSR (the representation of Presidium of the Supreme Council of Ukrainian SSR) issued a decree "On the formation of the Transcarpathian region +". As is well known, on 29 June, 1945, representatives of two countries, from the USSR Minister (Commissioner) FM V. Molotov, and, respectively, from the Czechoslovakia, prime minister Z. Firlinger and Secretary of State V. Klementis, in Moscow signed a treaty on Transcarpathian Ukraine ..." Thus, the subjects of the international agreement were the USSR and Czechoslovakia. Ukrainian SSR, which at that time possessed all the rights of representation in international relations (Article 72 paragraph 5 of the Constitution of the Ukrainian SSR), not only did not sign the treaty, but at its conclusion Ukrainian diplomats were not even present, nor were the representatives of Transcarpathian Ukraine.
In January 22, 1946, one of the subjects of signed international treaty, which not yet entered into force,(USSR), the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the USSR passes a subject of international law Subcarpathian Ruthenia (or using the terminology of the USSR-Subcarpathian Ukraine), in the administration of Ukrainan SSR, but in the status of an ordinary administrative region.
International law permits secession in a form of agreement between all parties concerned, i.e. voluntary consent in accordance with international law. However, the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the USSR, either in form or in fact could become a legal act providing for the transfer of territory (and especially the subject of international law, Subcarpathian Ruthenia-Transcarpathian Ukraine), from one subject (USSR), to another subject of international relations (Ukrainian SSR ). For such a transfer in international law there is a unique legal form - a treaty, but not a decree.
In law, there is such a thing as a hierarchy of legal norms. International treaties have a hierarchical precedence over any acts of national law, and the norm of law (decree) cannot have more power than the norm of treaty. They should be interpreted to conform to treaty obligations. "None of the parties to the Agreement has a right to restrict or eliminate any obligations contained in international treaties, through a legal act", according to international law.
Thus, the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the USSR by its Decree of January 22, 1946, not only violated the Constitution of the USSR, but also completely illegally, unilaterally abolished the subject of international law Subcarpathian Ruthenia (or in the new Stalin's terminology, Transcarpathian Ukraine"), which is recognized as a subject of international law by the international community, as recorded in the Versailles, Saint-Germaine and the Trianon peace treaties.
In fact, Subcarpathian Ruthenia by the decree of the Supreme Council of 22 January was passed for the temporary administration for an indefinite period. Moreover, the Constitution of Ukraine in the Art.9 gives an exhaustive list of international legal norms forming part of the national legislation of the country, which includes only international agreements consent to be bound by which was given by the Supreme Council of Ukraine.
However, since the treaty "On Transcarpathian Ukraine + " as a subject of international law, signed the USSR, not Ukrainian SSR (and not an independent Ukraine), in accordance with Art. 7 of the Law of Ukraine "On Succession of Ukraine", Ukraine is the only successor to the treaties of the USSR, consent to be bound by which was given by the Supreme Council of Ukraine. Or, in other words, the treaties, consent to be bound by which was not given by the Supreme Council of Ukraine, are not "part of the national legislation of Ukraine" and are regarded invalid in Ukraine.
So far, there is no official act of the Supreme Council of Ukraine on the expression of consent (ratification) of a binding international treaty "On Transcarpathian Ukraine + " from June 29, 1945. Consequently, this treaty is invalid for an independent Ukraine, as well as the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the USSR from 22 January 1946.
After discussing the reports, the participants adopted following resolution: Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the USSR from 22 January 1946 can not be regarded as legitimate, because it violated the provisions of international law existing at the time. In addition, in this regard, since its publication, it appears legally null and void.
Therefore, all legal relations arising from the declaration of independence of Ukraine between the "Territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians" and Kiev, are illegitimate in the case of ignoring the results of the referendum of Dec. 1, 1991, to grant Transcarpathia status of "special self-governing territory, which is not included in any other administrative-territorial formations, "as legal subject within independent Ukraine.
19-year long repressions and prosecutions of the leaders of the Ruthenian movement by the Ukrainian ruling regime have no legal basis and are listed among crimes against the Ruthenian people. Moreover, such crimes against the people do not have time limitation.

Prime Minister of RSR, P. I. Getsko
GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SUBCARPATHIAN RUTHENIA
Uzhgorod 42/1 of 20.01.2011

"Resolution of the Government of the Republic of Subcarpathian Ruthenia regarding the situation with the Ukrainian State loans from the IMF, the opening of 4 points of temporary residence and detention of illegal migrants in Transcarpathia."
After receiving two tranches of new stand by loan from the International Monetary Fund last year, Ukraine increased its obligations to the Fund to 9.25 billion SDR (14,12 billion dollars at current exchange rate). The largest debtor to the IMF is Romania - 9.8 billion SDR, second is Ukraine and third is Greece - 9.13 billion SDR. In addition, all received credits are sent mostly to Kiev, where their subsequent fate is unknown until the end.
Therefore:
1. Ruthenians would be compelled to refuse to recognize the part of the debt, which Ukraine undertook due to IMF loans, and which "burdens" more than 800 thousand Subcarpathian Ruthenians. It is obvious that all credit resources, provided to the Ukrainian leaders, are not directly related to the Ruthenians living in the autonomous territory to the south of the Carpathians since the referendum from December 1, 1991, when "independent" Ukraine did not include Transcarpathian region of Ukrainian SSR in their legal field with the status of restored pre-Soviet republic. During the administration of "independent" Ukrainian authorities in the territory of the Ruthenians, since
December 1, 1991 until now, Ruthenian people have never been given truthful information about the purpose of obtaining credit resources from the International Monetary Fund.
2. Ruthenians are opposed to arrangement of points of temporary residence and detention of illegal migrants in the territory of the Ruthenians to the south of the Carpathians, in any form whatsoever. The European Union, using the formal consent of the authorities of Ukraine, is going to sign a contract on the construction of dozens of points of temporary residence and detention of illegal migrants in the Ruthenian Transcarpathia, dumping them from their own historical territory, reported the Delegation of the European Union in Ukraine.
In Chop (Transcarpathian region), they are planning to equip a retention point for up to 66 migrants. In addition, in Transcarpathian region is planned an equipment of three small settlements for 10 persons each.
In this regard, the Government of RSR refers to the World Council of Subcarpathian Ruthenians to support the initiative of the Government, and forward the relevant joint (of the Government of the RSR and the World Council of Subcarpathian Ruthenians), letter of application on disputed issues, endangering the safety of the Ruthenian people in the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians:
- On IMF loans, appeal to the IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn;
- On the detention points of temporary and illegal migrants in Ukraine, to the European Parliament of the EU

SSU forced the leader of the Ruthenians testify about the alleged incitement to armed rebellion.
The Nazi Security Services spread rumours that Ruthenians call to arms, to cover rabid terrorism of Galician Nazis and their agents.
Ivan Rusyn: Ruthenians warned! The Nazi Security Service spread a rumour that the Ruthenians call to arms against Ukraine. This is a frantic rush to cover overt terrorism of the Galician Nazis, in fact agents of the SSU. Almost all the nationalist organizations were staffed by agents of the Security Service, which operated against Ruthenians in Transcarpathia on the orders of the SSU.
This time SSU agents went out of control and began to shoot and burn. Here it is - the true face of Ukrainian Nazism, organized by the SSU.
I was visited by the representative of the SSU, who forced me to testify about alleged incitement to armed insurrection, rumours of which they spread in order to cover Galician catastrophe, actually a catastrophe of the SSU. The CIA has given birth to Bin Laden; the SSU has given birth to Nazi organizations in Ukraine accordingly, which went out of control, fussed in the SSU criminals against their own people.
With all that, Galician fascists themselves openly and officially declare that they will go to war with Donetsk and 'silence the Asian dogs'. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the UN, Article 19:
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
Note the absence of any additional restrictions in the Article 19, such as "hate or incitement of national, racial or religious hatred." That is, the person has a right to any belief: fascist, anti-fascist, Zionist, anti-Semitic, racist, anti-racist, Christian, anti-Christian, etc. Moreover, he has the right to spread their beliefs by any means.
Thus, all laws or regulations that restrict the dissemination of accurate information under the cover of "hate or incitement of national, racial or religious hatred", is contrary to the Declaration of Human Rights and is legally void, as a legislation at a lower level.
..... And another one of the same kind:
In Uzhgorod was created an initiative group of 20 people in order to conduct a referendum of distrust in the incumbent President and the Supreme Council. Once the news about this event has become widely publicized, the police raided homes of those who participated in the rally.
As the press service of the Transcarpathian regional party organization, representatives of the Party All-Ukrainian Union "Batkivshyna", law enforcement officers questioned people about other participants of the assembly and forced them to write explanatory notes, thus trying to put pressure on them.
It is known that the current government, headed by the president, is trying to turn Ukraine into a police state led by an authoritarian leader. Those who take a proactive stance and do not agree with the anti-people policies of Viktor Yanukovych, they are trying to break down psychologically, morally, or even through the use of physical force. Unfortunately, the law enforcement authorities instead of forces to protect citizens and the rule of law, gradually transform into an instrument of pressure and intimidation, and resort to gross violations of the law themselves.
The country has a climate of fear, uncertainty and distrust, where dictators and police feel the best of all. Local authorities are trying to avoid actions, which could put the President into a rage. Apparently, that is why the initiative group was refused registration.
We would like to hear a response from law enforcement officials of Uzhgorod as by which exactly norm of the Law of Ukraine "On All-Ukrainian and local referendums" were guided law enforcement officers when they visited participants of assembly and demanded to write an explanation.

What Rusyn (head of the Transcarpathian Department of Internal Affairs) missed in 2004? He will soon have to go back into hiding for the cop lawlessness.

Change of foreign policy of Hungary in the light of established new realities in the Subcarpathian Ruthenia
The fact that Ukraine was forced to accept Hungarian policy towards the Hungarian Diaspora, points at the weakness of Ukraine, its complete failure to respond adequately to external challenges in modern politics. However, this does not mean that the proposed policy of Hungary would be fully accepted by the Ruthenians. Another attempt to decide the fate of the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians without the involvement of the Ruthenians themselves, this time by Hungary, would be met with the same reaction: from sharp rebuff to the total rejection and hostility. What Hungary is planning to do is not a unilateral process, there are at least two and maybe three or more parties to the process. However, without participation of the subject-Ruthenian people, any initiative and signed documents will not receive further legitimization, particularly from the Ruthenians. Hungary repeats the mistakes of "independent" Ukraine of 1991, when the results of the Transcarpathian regional referendum were not recognized...
Hungary is building a new policy in respect of its Diaspora, which essentially changed the entire strategy of foreign policy of Budapest. Apparently, it is natural. However, even a one-sided discussion on part of Hungary of the future of the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians without participation of the Ruthenians equals to the saying: "do not trouble trouble until trouble troubles you." This for now is in fact the informational sabotage against the stability in Central Europe (especially considering the anti-Hungarian position of Slovakia). Therefore, such a policy, especially concerning the Ruthenian territory to the South of the Carpathians, instead of discussing reasonable options of "changing the foreign policy of Hungary in the light of new realities prevailing in the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians", is reduced to the statement: "The main thing is to start, and then we'll see. This is not an adequate solution to this problem. What it means to "change course" without the consent of entities of one of the proposed changes? In this case, from the outset there is being driven a wedge between the Ruthenians and Hungarians, Hungary and the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians. Any suspicion of potential sabotage forces us to take counter-measures. Thus, we will take practical steps on both sides to prevent the deterioration of already controversial Subcarpathian Ruthenian-Hungarian relations.
We should begin only with the most common issues, indisputable for both sides of the Hungarian Diaspora. Dual citizenship with the formula "One Country - Subcarpathian Ruthenia, several nationalities, in exchange for one nationality, two countries, two nationalities," - would be a first step, against which the majority of Ruthenians do not object, unlike Slovakia for example, and then it would be possible to determine the rest in the process of negotiations. However, if the proposed by the Ruthenians formula of "Change of the foreign policy of Hungary in the light of new realities prevailing in the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians" would not be taken into account, then change of the attitude to Hungary by the Ruthenians could take a month, maximum two. This should be primary concern of Hungary itself. There is no reason for the Ruthenians to quarrel with Hungary. Therefore, there is a need to change the course systematically, through compromise, based on evolving circumstances.
On the other hand, Hungary needs guarantees - who, in what way, by what means would implement changes? And most importantly, how would Hungary implement its foreign policy in Transcarpathia- Subcarpathian Ruthenia without the consent of one of the actors involved - the Ruthenian people, when the Ruthenian question resonates not only in the EU?
By the way, if the Hungarians in Transcarpathia are so strong, popular and able to lead the nation, why they obtained so few votes in the elections? Who will give Hungary guarantees in Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia? Only real power can give such guarantees. Is it clan of V. Baloga that was caught at the vote buying, or Ukrainian Hungarians? Doubtfully so.

Gradually emerging future contours of the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians without Ukraine, Subcarpathian Ruthenia without the domination of the Ukrainian nationalists, Ukrainian and foreign dictatorships, Subcarpathian Ruthenia without Ukrainian oligarchic fascism, Subcarpathian Ruthenia for the people and not for a handful of parasites, who "privatized" Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia...

There also begun to form relationships of territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians with neighbouring states. What they will be like in the future depends not only on the first steps of the Subcarpathian Ruthenia, but also on the neighbouring Central European countries.

Summary results of the Ruthenian movement for two years.
Within 2 years Ruthenian movement managed to achieve seemingly impossible, namely to declare itself as a real political force, force that can compete with Ukrainian sympathisers' movement. Thanks to the wise use of new information technologies, Ruthenian movement operates freely in areas, where concerned persons are unlikely to affect it. Thus, the Ruthenian movement, being in the centre of political events, exercises itself as though outside the political rules, imposed by the Ukrainian state.
Our progress towards goals surpassed all expectations.
Our most effective bet was not a parapolitical movement, associated with crime and provocateurs, but a structure of social networks.
While the Ruthenian National Movement is not anti-Semitic in effect, Ruthenians want to live in a country with limited number migrants.
The definition of "Subcarpathian Ruthenia" became a familiar political term, just as the term "territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians". Subcarpathian Ruthenia in political terms has remained "just a region" in Ukraine, the Ukrainian authorities did not want to recognize the Ruthenians as a separate people, but it is precisely this short-sighted political position of Ukraine towards the "Ruthenian question" that contributed the most to the revival of the Ruthenian movement...
Ruthenians have realized that any change is possible only when one stops being afraid, and they ceased to be afraid of Ukraine and the Ukrainian government.
Of course, the meeting of Soym of SR in December 2007 in Svalyava launched the Ruthenian movement, as we know it today. There was chosen a direction, which Ruthenian movement follows almost to this day. However, the most resonant of course was the 2nd European Congress of Subcarpathian Ruthenians in Mukachevo. Next in importance is the judicial process initiated by Ukraine against the Ruthenian people... Of the key events of 2008, it is certainly impossible not to mention breaking the door of the Orthodox Church and the search of altar and the whole church by the Secret Services. The homes of Ruthenian activists were also searched. Several hundred Ruthenians were called for questioning in the SSU.
In 2008, were held more than 20 scientific-practical conferences on the Ruthenian issues, including international ones. Ruthenian conference in Rostov in December 2008 was quite significant. In 2010, we finally brought the Ruthenian issue and its consideration outside of Ukraine. We held protests near the Ukrainian representative offices in Russia, Latvia, Germany, and Czech Republic+
Ruthenian question from the discussion of "autonomy within Ukraine" was finally transferred to the status of international recognition of the recovered in December the 1st , 2008, statehood of the Republic of Subcarpathian Ruthenia.
05/07/2009 in the social network "Odnoklassniki" was launched a group "Republic of Subcarpathian Ruthenia". This event was significant in the sense that for the first time we have been able to demonstrate wide support of the Ruthenian movement. Number of members of the group and its dynamics speak for themselves+ The group totals 12,8 thousand of participants. Ruthenian movement attracted many youth, became trendy and attractive.
In 2008-2009, we worked out the legal rationale of statehood of Subcarpathian Ruthenia, Subcarpathian Ruthenian economic doctrine, the memorandum of the Government of RSR, Ruthenian concept. Despite the variability of the policies of Russia and the EU, the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians, being in the strategically important geographic region, is doomed to remain at the junction of east and west, irrespective of the geopolitical moment.
In a short period of time Ruthenian issue became the topic of discussions at all levels, gets published in many leading political publications, and is shown on leading TV channels, not only Cyrillic, but also English ones. Ruthenian Information System covers more than 100 thousand correspondents worldwide. All this was implemented in the conditions of pseudo-democratic Ukraine, where intimidation, threats (including those of journalists) have become the norm. People, who have been living for centuries in their native land, have no right to exist, allegedly while under the supervision of the democratic forces in Europe, in the territory, where in addition to civil servants there are no workplaces, where even for communication in their native language people automatically get laid off from work.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ruthenian movement became a constituent factor in the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians.
The rise in popularity of the Ruthenian movement in recent years throughout the world has become a trend, particularly noticeable in the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians.
In order to move on, Ruthenian movement needs a fulcrum, to assess the achievements and failures over the past period, and outline a plan to implement in the future. In addition, a number of myths created by Ukraine about the Ruthenian movement, directly or indirectly were blocking its further development.
Belief of many in the anti-Ruthenian myths is a direct consequence of 20-year Ukrainian "brainwashing." However, the myth making is present in the history of any country. It is very important for the Ruthenians now to deconstruct the myths created by Ukraine.
One of those myths is a dissent within the Ruthenian movement. Ukraine is constantly trying to indicate a split in the Ruthenian movement (in other words a weakness and disunity of the Ruthenians) that supposedly exists to this day. It uses information about the movement from 2007-2008, when officially dominated two Ruthenian structures: the Soym of SR and PCRT (People s Council of the Ruthenians of Transcarpathia).
Let us start with the fact that many cultures have experienced splits, and various kinds of mutations. A new culture always emerges as the next version of the existing one. People with a different attitude to reality are breaking away from the old community for various reasons. As Lev Gumilev would say, these are people with another "stereotypical behaviour." Once in Rome gathered people, who had fled from different tribes, and made a community of citizens, who came to live under the new rules. These rules were so effective that Rome was able to subdue the former Italy and all the antique Ecumene. Something similar actually happened and is happening now in the Ruthenian movement.
The dynamics of the processes that occurred in 2008-2010 in Subcarpathian Ruthenia - Transcarpathia, and Ruthenian movement worldwide, has completely changed its meaning. It really became popular. Ruthenian movement has become a constituent factor in the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians. Ruthenian movement became the Youth movement.
Format of public organizations such as PCRT proved to be unsustainable, has sunk into oblivion, and failed to lead a mass organization. It has outlived its usefulness as such. The failure of the festival "Chervena Ruzha" (Red Rose) in 2010 in Mukachevo is a clear confirmation of this fact. Neither support of the Ukrainian authorities, nor the support of Transcarpathian clans-oligarchic groups, can create even the appearance that some organization or event exists at the behest of the heart, not created, or performed only for a show.
Format of the Soym of SR, unfortunately, too, does not correspond to Ukrainian realities due to blocking of any activities of the Soym of SR by Ukrainian intelligence organizations. This fact of the SSU intervention and human rights violations is noted in the PACE document on Ukraine. During this time were formed the European Congress of Subcarpathian Ruthenians (ECSR), World Congress of Subcarpathian Ruthenians (WCSR), and the World Council of Subcarpathian Ruthenians, which dramatically changed the dynamics of the international Ruthenian movement.
Attempts of the Ukrainian intelligence to provide analysis of the Ruthenian movement from the position of having only two structures does not give explanations of the reasons for which, after December 2008 - January 2009, after the searches, interrogations, removal of office equipment and documentation, Ruthenian movement became more active. This means that analysts have missed something important in the Ruthenian movement. Explanation for the increased popularity of the movement is very simple - it moved to the network, its structure has changed shape. It is no longer only members of the Soym of SR, the movement joined the youth who are not related to the Soym of SR, even less so to the PCRT. By the way, PCRT categorically rejects and does not recognize network structures. Another part is a free people, migrant workers who build their lives independently from the Ukrainian state.
Aside from the fact of emergence of this third additional force in the Ruthenian movement in 2008-2009, there is no other explanation and other reasons for the changes. Ruthenian movement became popular not only in Transcarpathia - Subcarpathian Ruthenia. If the earlier Ruthenian movement was mainly confined to two issues-the recognition of the Ruthenian people and implementation of the results of the referendum of 1991, the updated Ruthenian movement has affected the whole complex of socio-economic challenges of the future territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians.
Currently, the group "Republic of Subcarpathian Ruthenia", consisting of 12,7 thousand members in a social network "Odnoklassniki" (Schoolmates), could be compared to any significant political project in Ukraine, such as PR, "Batkivschina", UC, not to mention Transcarpathia - Subcarpathian Ruthenia, where they do not have competitors. They lead not only in terms of growth of the number of members in a short time and high degree of political self-organization of the Ruthenian movement, but also in the ability to act in the conditions of modern Ukraine, which means complete boycott of everything that does not have a seal of approval of the Ukrainian authorities. Ruthenian movement in Transcarpathia - Subcarpathian Ruthenia became the most popular in the region among youth under 30.
Ukrainian authorities have not managed to turn the Ruthenian movement of political power into a group of outcasts, against which one can apply the most stringent methods of control. Ukraine was not ready to deal with network structures of the Ruthenian movement. It appears, without revolutions and without the chaos, it is possible to make the transition to the new status of the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians. In this respect, Ruthenian movement is represented not by radicals, extremists and troublemakers, but the inhabitants of Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia, who solve their problems despite the fact that the Ukrainian government does not want to not only deal with them, but also even acknowledge them. If the Ukrainian government does not solve problems of the Ruthenian people, then at some point Ruthenians begin to address them in a ways, available to them.
Mass character of the movement contributes to clarification of the situation to every sane person in Transcarpathia - Subcarpathian Ruthenia.
This issue must be addressed. Without naming the disease, one cannot cure it. What happened must have happened. Many wonder why this has not happened before. Ukraine is now reaping the benefits of its policies towards the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians, which the Ukrainian authorities conducted over the past 20 years.
Parties, rallies, processions, crowds, revolutions, elections are inorganic and inefficient, and these are not our methods of struggle. Our strength lies not in the acts of civil disobedience (which would be premature), not in the protests (which would be meaningless in the conditions of the Ukrainian yoke), not in the rallies (which would be ineffective). Ruthenian movement created its playground and its own rules. Ruthenian network in the Internet, as clearly demonstrated and approved by the time, appears to be the most suitable for us.
Ukraine's GDP is half of Poland's with a larger population, whilst Poles in Europe are considered poor. Budget of Ukraine - 50 billion dollars, slightly less than Ireland's budget (55 billion for 0.5 million population). People have realized that nothing good could be expected, and everything that comes from the current administration is a bunch of lies. TV reports are radically different from the real situation.
The path of the Ruthenian movement is obvious and only possible, namely - the international recognition of the restoration of the statehood of the Republic of Subcarpathian Ruthenia, creation of jobs and social protection for all citizens of Subcarpathian Ruthenia. There is a need to encourage and promote innovations, build domestic industry and agriculture, maintain and promote Human Rights, a man- creator and man- humanist; ruthlessly root out corruption, drug addiction, alcoholism, lack of spirituality; raise educational level, faithfully serve the community...
Ruthenian people woke up from lethargy, during which there were attempts to destroy their culture in any possible way. Now it is a reality that everyone has to admit!

Hungary and the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians, the Hungarians and the Ruthenians.
The history of relations and connection between these territories and peoples has more than one century, but their level of importance is seen differently from various positions.
Today it is much more relevant to assess the perspective of the future relationship depending on the development of our cooperation. So far, we have presented three possible scenarios. Let us have a look at the worst one.
1. If Hungary cooperates with the current Ukrainian authorities in Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia, Ruthenian position towards Hungary from the day one would be the same as towards Ukraine, which is much worse than relation of Slovakia to the Hungarian issue is.
This is because the Ukrainian government in Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia is associated with all the troubles faced by Ruthenians, and today with the odious figure of V. Baloga and his clan as well. To date, the persecutions of the Ruthenian people are associated with his personality, since he was the head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine. As if to confirm this, before the election he publicly renounced his ancestors.
All of his subsequent fraud of massive bribery of voters in Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia resulted in nothing; - he got just over 10% of the votes, but in reality hardly 5% of the votes. The recent scandal involving a deputy-paedophile is the most obvious and clear example of the moral degradation of party members of loser V. Baloga - United Centre.
Ruthenians always expressed negative attitude towards non-traditional sexual orientation. Besides, he was worthless as a business executive and a public official. It was during his regency that our region slid into an economic abyss. The number of labour migrants in Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia during this period increased by more than 200,000.
According to the website "Rospres" it was V. Baloga, who played the card of "new young fascists from All-Ukrainian Union "Svoboda", and, most importantly, offered organizational and financial support for the election of the nationalist party of Tyahnybok in western Ukraine.
It is equally important that the ideology of his party's UC is oligarchic fascism. It is almost like with the Galician All-Ukrainian Union "Svoboda", whose objectives are Ukrainization of entire population, a single ideological interpretation of history => uniformity of thought, Russo-phobia and Rutheno-phobia, and some other issues. Indeed, if they united, they would create a threat to civil law in the region, particularly the rights of minorities. Ruthenians are still able to distinguish patriots from the Nazis, because infringement of the rights of Ruthenians, Hungarians and other ethnic minorities, not to mention the corruption of power, came from them. V. Baloga and his team are accused of the consequences of floods in Transcarpathia, because the clan of V. Baloga has been in power within the past 10 years. Talks about the unfortunate accident might have occurred in 1998, when this disaster happened for the first time. Subsequently, the floods occurred regularly, approximately every three years. Flood can be successfully controlled, certainly not after it has already begun, but in a pre-planned way, eliminating all the problem areas. Transcarpathia will be subject to flooding as long as they steal the money allocated for the construction of dams, because just a month ago, the regional authorities boasted of how successful they were at building dams, while the very first flood demolished these dams as if they were made of paper.
This suggests that these dams were poorly constructed; all that could be stolen was stolen, therefore, with such a leadership our Transcarpathia is stamped in floods, and will be stamped in the future.
On May 3, Institute of Mass Information and the Kyiv Independent Media Trade Union published a list of ten Ukrainian politicians and public figures, which tend to inhibit the activities of the media the most, reports Correspondent. net ". Eighth place went to Viktor Baloga - the former head of the secretariat of Viktor Yushchenko. He was included in the list because of his addiction to litigations with reporters. Transcarpathians avoid V. Baloga and his clan, as if they had a leper.
2. Hungary would place their bets on Transcarpathian Hungarians.
As it was very clearly observed, there is a prevalence of socio-economic trends over nationalist ones in the region. That is, two Transcarpathian Hungarian parties are actually copying their donors in Hungary: The Democratic Party of Hungarians of Ukraine (Istvan Gaydosh) - Socialist KMKS, Party of Hungarians of Ukraine (Miklos Kovacs) - Liberals, who are actively competing with each other inside Transcarpathia, therefore pushing nationalistic factor to the second place.
The results of the two Hungarian parties, which totalled 3.8%, are surprisingly low, - Democratic Party of Hungarians of Ukraine (15,351 people), and Transcarpathian regional organization of a political party KMKS "Party of Hungarians of Ukraine " (20,456 people). As a political force, Hungarians in Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia, with a population of just over 12% showed the results of only 3.8%!?
Incidentally, in Beregovo number of Roma increased by 76%, with an average regional index of 15%. In the early 90's Transcarpathian Hungarians actively immigrated to Hungary, now the migration flow is more even. Current economic problems in Hungary affected its own people, not just our emigrants. Hungarian villages in Transcarpathia- Subcarpathian Ruthenia are perfectly healthy socially, full of youth, with normally functioning households. However, in most populated by Hungarians parts of Transcarpathia (Beregovo district and Beregovo), natural population decline is the largest in the region. Moreover, all this despite the fact that in the vast majority of districts of Transcarpathia there is a population growth.
Thus, this option is less painful than the previous one; however, in a very short period hostility threatens to escalate to the level of rejection, just as in the first option.
3. Hungary (as well as any other state) is working to resolve the Ruthenian question. The correct policy in the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians is a policy that suits the Ruthenians. Even perfect, super-tolerant, super-liberal, perfectly accepted by all except the Ruthenians in Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia policy, would be a bad policy, doomed to failure. For example, Ruthenians are not against dual citizenship, but on the other hand, they estimate present economic situation of Hungary and Ukraine, and Hungary and Slovakia.
They compare not only political, but also economic models. Imperial tendencies of Hungary are sidelined, as compared to the economic well-being, which is now main preoccupation of the Ruthenians, along with the socialization of the state.
Ukraine, refusing to recognize Ruthenians, a priori took the position of Galicia! Hungary and Slovakia recognized Ruthenians. Galician and pro-Galician forces, which are represented in the region by party clan of
V. Baloga, do not fit into any other schemes neither in the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians, nor in Hungary or Slovakia or in Poland and Romania.
At the same time, Ruthenians perfectly fit into Hungarian, Slovak, Polish, Romanian, and many other communities. Central European countries should realize that without a compromise with the Ruthenians, there would be a foundation already at the start for such a relationship, as it is now between the Ruthenians and Ukrainians/Galicians, or between Slovakia and Hungary, which threatens to aggravate the situation even more. Therefore, anyway, to save face, Russia, Hungary, Slovakia... would have to not only recognize the legitimacy of the transition to the restoration of statehood in the territory of the Ruthenians to the South of the Carpathians - the Republic of Subcarpathian Ruthenia, but also recognize new leaders of Subcarpathian Ruthenia. We are faced with a very interesting lesson in democratic flexibility.

The representative of the Ruthenians Fr. Dimytry Sydor took part in the 4th European Russian Forum.
From 29 to 30 November 2010, the European Parliament in Brussels hosted an international conference and the 4-th European Russian Forum, which was attended by representative of the Ruthenians in the European Democratic Alliance, Archpriest Dimytry Sydor.
The representative of Subcarpathian Ruthenians in the European Alliance read a report on the state of human rights and freedoms in Ukraine and evidenced continuing discrimination and ethnocide of the Ruthenian nation, with clear signs of genocide. There is a continuing defamation of the Ruthenians in the media, and judicial repressions against them.
European politicians were also made aware of the bankruptcy of the court system in Ukraine, which is unable to ensure fair trials, retained only a semblance of a fair trial, and has long turned into a shameful violation of rights of hundreds of thousands of people.
At a meeting in Brussels was also discussed the impoverishment of the people, total absence of a free press, corruption, bureaucracy in law enforcement bodies and prosecution in courts, and crimes of intelligence, fighting with the Ruthenian people by the means of prohibited methods.
There has been resentment of those present when the delegates learned about how the Ukrainian officials disfigured "European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages", which was designed to maintain and support the dying languages of small nations. Participants perceived as a mockery of the Charter that among those dying languages were ranked ... Russian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Hungarian and other very mush alive languages, whilst language of the Ruthenian nation - Ruthenian, was rudely rejected by the authorities.
Besides other issues, the forum made recommendations to President Dmitry Medvedev regarding his upcoming talks with the EU. Sydor Anna Iosyphovna, as an employee of the newspaper "The Christian family", was also present at the Forum.

Petr Getsko: The Ruthenians have a goal, while Ukraine does not have one.
Ruthenians are not national or cultural minority of the Ukrainian people or an ethnic group that belongs to the Ukrainian nation. Ruthenians worldwide have their own ethnic and cultural identity, based on the Slavic tradition, which differs from the "Ukrainian". When Ruthenian identifies himself as Ruthenian, he does not identify himself with the Ukrainian people. Ethnonym "Ruthenian" is much older than "Ukrainian" and it equally belongs to all the Eastern Slavs and Holy Russia. On the Internet could be found plenty of material about the Republic of Subcarpathian Ruthenia, which was proclaimed in the Transcarpathian region, but operates mainly in the virtual space. What is Subcarpathian Ruthenia - part of the Russian world or part of Central Europe? We interview the prime minister of this formally yet unrecognized republic of the Ruthenians - Petr Ivanovich Getsko. Petr Ivanovich Getsko was born Jan. 1, 1965, in the village Kushnitsa Irshava district, Transcarpathian region, in a large family. After graduating high school in Kushnitsa in 1981, he worked as a bricklayer in the construction department of the 52nd trust "Lvovzhilstroy". In 1983, he was called up for military service in the airborne troops. He served in the Baltic States and Moldova. He is a candidate for Master of Sport in Sambo. After serving in the army, entered the Faculty of Automation and Electronics at Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, from where he graduated with a degree in systems engineering. Afterwards, he worked in Kiev in JSC "Rostock". Since 1997, he heads the public organization "Employment". He joined the Ruthenian movement in 1996. At the II European Congress of Subcarpathian Ruthenians was elected Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of Subcarpathian Ruthenia.
- Peter Ivanovich, what prompted Ruthenians to define their self-identity? Almost half a century (since the accession to the Soviet Union in 1945 and until now), they considered themselves to be Ukrainians, and then suddenly "realized the mistake," and declared themselves a separate Ruthenian nation?
- First of all, I would like to mention briefly that there is a false impression about the inhabitants of Western Ukraine, - that they are all 100% Bandera nationalists. Not many know that Lvov and Uzhgorod represent two different mentalities and cultures, even though they are close neighbours. In 1946, all Ruthenians of Subcarpathian Ruthenia in the census were recorded Ukrainians: the authorities promptly issued new birth certificates in which all the inhabitants of Transcarpathia became Ukrainians, and their place of birth was changed for USSR, instead of Austria-Hungary or Czechoslovakia. The state did everything to strengthen the Ukrainian influence in the region, in particular, supported the resettlement of ethnic Ukrainians from Central Ukraine and Galicia, and replaced the language of study in almost all schools for Ukrainian. In such circumstances, self-identity of the Ruthenians became impossible, and sometimes even dangerous+ In all countries where Ruthenians live, they are considered a separate minority group. However, in Ukraine, even after the collapse of the Soviet Union and independence, almost nothing has changed in the Ruthenian issue - much of the population of the Transcarpathian region (Ruthenians) live with "Ukrainian" self-identity not knowing Ruthenian language, culture, or history, because the authorities continue to argue that the Ruthenians are "part of the Ukrainian people." Still yet, I would highlight 1991 (the year of the collapse of the USSR) in the history of the Ruthenian nation. For the Ruthenian intelligentsia this period provided the impetus for unity of the Ruthenian nation, shaping the Ruthenian self-identity. The reason, in my opinion, was the threat of takeover of Ruthenians by Galicia. Galicians were hoping that they surely would be able to make the Ruthenians not only speak, but also think solely in Ukrainian, despite the fact that the Hungarians did not make us speak and think in Hungarian over 900 years of their rule over us! After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ruthenian intellectuals began discussing the Ruthenian national identity, development of the Ruthenian nation, adopted first Ruthenian declarations. The essence of the problems of the Ruthenians is expressed in the necessity of a clear definition of the nation's two main positions - separation of the ethnic territory (to the south of the Carpathians) and national identification. In 1991, the Ruthenians had the same foundation for their independent state as Ukraine. Yet still, having put trust in Ukraine, Ruthenian elite offered steps for implementation of autonomous status of the Ruthenians within Ukraine - peacefully, in accordance with relevant legal mechanisms (through referendum). I would like to note that the Ruthenians are peaceful and trustworthy people, and therefore the option to solve their problems was based on their confidence in Ukraine. I would like to remind that in December 1991, in compliance with all legislations and regulations was conducted a referendum on the independence of Ukraine, which discussed the question of granting Transcarpathia status of self-governing territory. As a result, the will the Ukrainian people was implemented, but the will of the Ruthenian people was ignored ... but in those conditions, Ruthenians, of course, could not have foreseen such a deceit on the part of Ukraine. Therefore, later, in 1993, Ruthenians formed their own provisional government with the Prime Minister Professor Ivan Turyanitsa, and continued to fight for the recognition of the Ruthenian nation. In 1996, Ukraine once again subjected Ruthenians to even bigger shock, when unveiled its State "Action Plan to address the issues of Ukrainians-Ruthenians." This document intended to conduct a series of measures aimed at strengthening Ukrainization of Transcarpathia (in particular on issues of language, culture, employment preferences), as well as integration of the population of Transcarpathia in the socio-political, spiritual and cultural space of Ukraine, that is, the assimilation of Ruthenians in the Ukrainian ethnic environment . Therefore, back then Ruthenian activists made their final decision about the necessity to secede from Ukraine. SSU in response began to infiltrate the Ruthenian movement with their agents, whose "impact" essentially reduced to "writing letters". ? In 2007, new people took the leadership of the Ruthenian movement. They analyzed all the setbacks and failures, have developed a new tactic. As from December 2007, we have not changed this tactic. We fully agreed with the chosen path. In addition, the new team is formed from reliable people, who do not succumb to provocations. The new leadership of the Ruthenian movement resolves issues with funding, personnel, and information support without any problems. In addition, I would like to note that now we can only rely upon our own resources and ourselves, not on the resources of Moscow, Budapest and 6 other foreign capitals, whom "conscious" accused of supporting the Ruthenian movement. We now liaised with the Ruthenian Diaspora around the world, and within three years brought up the consideration Ruthenian issue on a global level, outside of Ukraine.
- The official position of Kiev for all these years have been expressing opinions of Galicia that all Ukrainians had called themselves Ruthenians, and later began identify themselves as Ukrainians. How do you comment on such a position?
- There is one significant difference: Subcarpathian Ruthenians have always called themselves so, up until now. Historical heritage links them with the Carpathian territory, but not with the new Ukrainian nation and the ideology that emerged in the early twentieth century. In the historic cultural heritage and memory of today's Ruthenians there is no sense of belonging to the history of the Ukrainian people, in particular the reasons for national pride in Bogdan Khmelnitsky, Taras Shevchenko, Ivan Franko and other heroes of Ukrainian historical myths, and even less so in Mazepa, Bandera, and Shukheyvich. As once did Austria-Hungary, Ukraine now persecutes the Ruthenians. Galicians use this fact in their attempt to nullify the Ruthenian question in modern Ukraine. What can I say! I could mention as an example an attempt of political persecution of father Dimytry Sydor for separatism, at the request of the Security Services, issued by Galicians without any facts, but merely nationalist slogans. Ruthenians smashed to smithereens all charges against father Dimytry in court, having opposed life pragmatism and the will to survive in impossible conditions of Ukrainian reality, to the nationalistic sentiments of Galicians. Ruthenians demonstrated their will to survive throughout whole period of "independence" of Ukraine, including the government of Yanukovych. Our difference from Galicians is benevolent and respectful attitude towards the Russian language and Russians. In addition, Ruthenians defend their independence only in their territory to the south of the Carpathians, where they already had the experience of an independent state. On the contrary, Galicians, who have been unable to create statehood even before, began their ideological expansion throughout Ukraine. Although, if they concentrated their efforts only on their three regions, their success could have been much greater. For a start, they could demonstrate their power at a regional level. That is, Ruthenians concentrate their energy within, Galicians, on the contrary, waste it on external causes+ There are so many differences between the Galicians and Ruthenians. Behind the apparent similarity and closeness lies an abyss of contradictions. Of course, we understand that part of Transcarpathians during forced assimilation forgot ethnonym "Ruthenians." However, instinctively, at the subconscious level, Ruthenians feel their own particularity and mental distance from Galicians. Ruthenians are not national or cultural minority of the Ukrainian people, not an ethnic group that belongs to the Ukrainian nation. Ruthenians worldwide have their own ethnic and cultural identity, based on the Slavic tradition, which differs from the "Ukrainian". When Ruthenian calls himself a Ruthenian, he does not identify himself with the Ukrainian people. Ethnonym "Ruthenian" is much older than etnonim "Ukrainian" and equally belongs to all the Eastern Slavs and Holy Russia.
- How do you assess the ideological methods of Galicians?
- For their ideological work Galicians use methods, founded in due time by the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. They are based on terrorism and intimidation. For instance, Tyagnibok now uses aggressive street opposition. As for us, as the basis of our ideological work, we use scientific conferences, congresses and individual promotional activities with the Ruthenians, and the result is obvious. Last year alone, Ruthenian movement joined more than 10 thousand people. In addition, Ruthenians to the south of the Carpathian are now talked about. If earlier talks about the Ruthenians were just hypothetical, as of fourth East Slavic nation, now, referring to the Ruthenians, there is understanding of a particular place of their residence and number. Thanks to the activity of the Ruthenian movement in Ukraine, Ruthenian organizations around the world have also boosted their activity. At the same time, Galician activity decreases. They compromised Ukrainian idea by their actions. They have no positive role models. This is evident in their organizations. Earlier it was said about Ruthenian organizations that they were small, and didn t have many members. Now there are exactly same talks about shrinking of Ukrainian Nationalists' movements. Ruthenian organizations are gaining in popularity, especially among youth. Ruthenian movement is joined by unaffiliated to the various "isms" youth. In contrast, the Galician nationalist movement is joined by quite aggressive youth.
- What in your opinion are the reasons for the successful revival of the Ruthenian identity in Transcarpathia?
- The Ruthenian movement has a purpose; there is the Ruthenian idea, Ruthenian ideology, a program of socio-economic and cultural revival of the territory of the Ruthenians to the south of the Carpathians, while Ukraine has no purpose, no plan. Providing there is no plan (other than the Ukrainian State Action Plan for the assimilation of the Ruthenians), there is no structure behind this plan. Although the structure is still there - the state apparatus is working, there is no meaning in this work. If we multiply the economic crisis in Ukraine with planned "economic reforms", respectively, we could find out the reasons for success in the revival of the Ruthenian identity in Transcarpathia.
- Petr Ivanovich, thank you for your interview. If our readers have questions, they can pose them to our interlocutor in his online blog at

Primary preliminary conclusions regarding local "elections" in Transcarpathia- Subcarpathian Ruthenia
1. Ruthenian movement did not violate its two taboos: not to take part in mass rallies and not to take part in the Ukrainian elections.
2. The last local elections were attended by nearly 530,000 Transcarpathians, who participated in voting. Therefore, there is no sufficient reason to consider it the people's will; in fact, a little over half the adult population of the region took part in these elections. They were mostly executives, civil servants, employees of budgetary institutions, war and labour veterans. The most influential representatives of local population, unfortunately, are working far from parental homes and could not take part in the elections.
3. According to preliminary results of the "elections", the statement of the party leaders of the United Centre before the election that they purport to enter the top three all-Ukrainian political parties, turned into a fiasco for them. Ukrainian edition of the "Weekly Mirror" called the United Centre "mini party ", and the people immediately after the elections called them loser party.
4. Before the elections, Viktor Baloga renounced his ancestors, when he declared himself a Ukrainian, and regarding the issue of recognition of the Ruthenian people in Ukraine, said it was not relevant! Immediately after this statement, the people called him quisling, and after the elections also a trickster.
5. During the "elections", the party United Centre conducted massive bribery of voters. Even at the headquarters of UC, no one denies this fact.
6. These "elections" revealed true colours of V. Baloga. "Tiger" Baloha turned up to be made of paper for Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia; forasmuch as show the results of the "elections"; even massive bribery did not help. Viktor Baloga cannot claim to be the 'master' of Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia, he can lead one of the many clans, but nothing more than that. If he used a bribe, it means that he was afraid of manifestation of the real will of the people; therefore, he used conspicuous "legitimacy" simply to justify the right to rule.
7. Baloha chose political niche of right-wing Ukrainian nationalists, anti-Ruthenians. In Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia, bribery used in the elections, according to various estimates, from 10 to 15%, has increased the number of votes. However, it points out at its "relevance" not only on the all-Ukrainian level, but also regionally.
8. As it turned out, UC professes an ideology of oligarchic fascism!
9. According to the Ukrainian edition of "Weekly Mirror", "United Centre" will eventually completely merge with the Party of Regions.
10. Having obtained support by such means, what kind of legitimacy can there be? This applies to not only UC, but also the Ukrainian government in Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia in general. This once again confirms that "superfluous people" would not get into the power. In this case, the possibilities of any negotiations and agreement with the Ukrainian authorities or representatives of state power remain in question.
11. Another disappointment - surprisingly low results from two Hungarian parties - a total of 3,8 %; namely, the Democratic Party of Hungarians of Ukraine (15,351 people) and Transcarpathian regional organizations and political parties KMKS "Party of Hungarians of Ukraine" (20,456 people). As a political force, the Hungarians in Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia, with a population of slightly more than 12% are represented by 3,8%!? Two Transcarpathian Hungarian parties actually repeated the results of its donors in Hungary: The Democratic Party of Hungarians of Ukraine (Ishtvan Gaydosh) - Socialist KMKS - Party of Hungarians of Ukraine (Miklos Kovacs) - Liberals, are actively competing with each other in Transcarpathia, thus, pushing the nationalist front to the second place.
The current Ukrainian government in Transcarpathia is no longer the central and only forum linking ruling "elite" with the population of the territory of the Ruthenians to the south of the Carpathians. Ukrainian government in Transcarpathia is no longer non-alternative and not the only one who communicate ideas about solving public problems and the future of Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia. State employees and retirees are becoming more and more pragmatic with regard to the Ukrainian state. The same applies to migrant workers. To date, the number of migrant workers is almost equal to the number of state employees and retirees in Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia. At the same time, the population of the territory of the Ruthenians to the south of the Carpathians mainly survives at the expense of migrant workers.
Currently, there is a change of political culture. In this sense, disappears the dilemma that existed before - for which state to vote - for "United Centre" with its ideology of oligarchic fascism, or Ruthenians with the ideology of a sovereign state - Republic of Subcarpathian Ruthenia. There has been a fundamental shift: the SR and UC are no longer seen in Transcarpathia-Subcarpathian Ruthenia as an alternative to the Ukrainian state. Persecution of the Ruthenian people by Ukraine demonstrated that Ruthenians are alive; they are still a force that Ukrainian powers have only awakened by their actions.

Who will pay the Ruthenians compensation for the damage of their statehood and the nation's detriment, or once again about how some "victims" try to "knock out" compensation from other similar "victims"
Dmitry Vozdvyzhensky:
I think that after the recognition of the tragedy of Katyn by the State Duma, Russia must denounce the originally illegal Stalin's "Treaty on the Carpathian Ukraine", dated 29 June 1945, the more so because the Ruthenians do not ask for compensation from Russia, as the denunciation itself would mean such compensation! Russia does not have to pay Poland, for the demands of Poland are 100% the same as the requirements of Russia itself and Subcarpathian Ruthenia, and would therefore cancel out.
I would like to remind that in 1920, 120,000 Red Army' prisoners of war, 85,000 of which were exterminated by Polish separatists, had found themselves in the territory of Poland, partly seceded from Russia, namely the former Russian Empire, which was being "legally recaptured."
Prince Vladimir reconquered from The Lendians Cherven lands - Galicia. Poland later won them over from Russia, creating The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Did Georgian Saakashvili fight over Ossetia? Does Moldova fight over Transnistria? Does Azerbaijan fight over Nagorno-Karabakh? Does Ukraine fight with Ruthenians, who just want to restore their pre-Soviet status of the National or Administrative Autonomous Republic within Ukraine?
Regarding compensation, the Subcarpathian Ruthenians are entitled to compensation from the following:
1. From Austria - for the genocide of the Ruthenian nation in Austrian concentration camps Tallergof and Terezin in 1914-1915.
2. From Hungary - for the crimes of the communist Bela Kun in 1919.
3. From Czechoslovakia - (and now separate from the Czech Republic and Slovakia), because it did not issue the status of the state of Subcarpathian Ruthenia in time, in 1920, and because of their treacherous cahoots with Stalin in Moscow in 1945, and today with the EU.
4. From Germany - for the destruction of national statehood of Subcarpathian Ruthenia in March 1939, by the Abwehr through the instrumentality of Galician terrorists.
5. From Poland - for 3,000 Polish citizens - Galician terrorists, who were illegally crossing the Ruthenian border in 1938, killing innocent civilians in the Subcarpathian Ruthenia, and destroying bridges. They established military fascist formation, "The Carpathian Sich" who attempted the coup and seize power, illegally renamed the Republic into the "Carpathian Ukraine", and assaulted schoolchildren in the [Krasnoe Pole] "Red Field" in the Khust area.
6. From Ukraine (to the extent of not less than $ 20 billion) - for their illegal stay in the territory of the Ruthenians in the course of 19 years, for criminal felling of fore-forests and forests, for violation of the ecology, for the capture of Ruthenian lands and property, for quiet deportation of 350,000 Ruthenians abroad to make a living, for ethnocide and genocide of the Ruthenian nation.
7. From Hungary - for the fact that they have been buying from the Ukrainian thieves forest, namely round timber, for 19 years, to consequently stamp in the floods, along with the Ruthenians.
8. From Romania - for the capture of originally Ruthenian city Sighet in 1918, and Ruthenian Maramarosh, for Romanization of the Ruthenians, and toxic pollution of the Tisza River. We could go on an on!"
So, would Kievan authorities (and other countries mentioned above) pay for damages to the Ruthenians? Regarding the former, we do not ask compensation from Russia, but denunciation of the "Treaty on the Carpathian Ukraine" would suffice as such compensation!
