"The Rusyn's history is more beautiful than the Ukrainians'". Using history in the process of legitimization of national Aspiration by Carpatho-Rusyn

Summary/Abstract: Adducing to the past, ethnic myths, the history and traditions is also a basis of national and ethnic ideologies. The vision of the Carpatho-Rusyn ethnic leaders is based on a fundamental premise that over the course of history, until the year 1945, the Rusyns had nothing in common with the Ukrainians. They have their own specifi c and unique history which decided of their distinctness and which gives them the right to recognize them as a fourth Eastern Slavic nation, separate from the Ukrainians.
