: Are you saying then, that in 1914 when St. Maksym died, by "naj z'yje russkij narod" he meant "may the Ukrainian people live"? Do you think that in 1914 he did not know that Rusyny had changed their name to Ukrainian?
I am (and all my ancestors were) originally from Eastern Ukraine. My grandmother borned in 1898 and died in 1990 in a small willage near Russian border always - at the and of this century! - said about us Ukrainians "rus'ki" and about Russians - "Katsapy".
