Dear Rusjkyj,
I met many rusyn people who very very kind and open hearted people. But I never talked with any of them about how they feel about their identity. I was not a theme that comes naturaly in any discussion except on this page. If I am correct you are a rusyn. I would like to ask you to give me some information, maybe web page on the most recent developments in the Rusyn world especially in Subcarpathia.

: :::Mr.Oleksij, you can dream as much as possible about "super" Ukraine. So far, this country is not European (see also Observer's massage above the CPI). Problem is that majority of Ukrainians have not even started to comprehend what it means to live in democratic country governed by the rule of law. Rusyns, as the only east Slavic nation, did have some experience with the rule of law in the highly developed democratic Czechoslovakia between 1919 to 1939.
: : : Mr Zsolt, you may call Canada "Smaller America" or or Romania Greater Trnasilvanian Hungary, but Zakarpattia will always be Zakarpattia, not "Subkarpatija". Ukraine will be united.
