: : President Voloshin was in line with President Tiso of Slovakia
: Sure. He also must have signed the Munich pact.
:: He took advantage of the rape of Czechoslovakia the same way as Tiso did.
He signed the permission to set up the concentration camp in Dumen-Rakhovo and in his government Galitsian Nazi guys made the list of Jewish-fellow citizens in Subcarpathia for eventual deportation.
Hungarian annexation of Subcarpathia interrupted this process of organized extermination of Jewish population and that's why not Rusyns, but Hungarians are responsible for the Holocaust in Subcarpathia that occurred in 1944. Unlike Voloshin, Tiso remained in power and that's why Slovaks are responsible for extermination of 60 000 Jewish fellow citizens that started in Slovakia at least three years earlier ( in 1940-41).
