It should not be surprizing that such an innocent question (or stupid, as per some other writers), produced so many often contradicting responses. What a shame! Just listen to yourself, people: "Rusyns are Slovaks, Russians, and God knows who else." Well, in this case I am not Ukrainian, but Podolian, a fellow from Podilly (South-Western Ukraine) for all yor educated erudits. Give me a break. No wonder, the Ukraine in such a pitiful state at the moment. Her own sons and dougthers don't know (or do not want to know) who they are. It is clear that Ukrainians are devided. And who are we to blame for that - Russians, Slovaks, or Rusyns?
