Ужгородская русинская еженедельная газета «Неділя» 1941-1944 гг.
Uzhhorod Rusyn weekly newspaper "Sunday" 1941-1944.

Summary/Abstract: This paper is devoted to the history of the Rusyn newspaper Неділя [Sunday] published from August 1941 to October 1944. The weekly newspaper continued the tradition of the pro-Rusyn “third power” in the social life of the region, which had been dominated by the opposition of Russophiles and Ukrainophiles through the Czechoslovakian era. The changes in the publication were connected to the new Hungarian policy with regard to Subcarpathia and the active role of the Regent’s commissar Miklós Kozma. Considerable positive changes in the work of the newspaper took place after the appointment of the teacher Andrey Kutlan as its editor. In those years, the geographical spread of the readers of this popular Rusyn weekly expanded considerably. In addition to the residents of today’s Transcarpathian oblast of Ukraine and the 36 villages in the regions of Snina and Sobrance in present-day Slovakia, the area included Rusyns from the Serbian provinces of Vojvodina, which in spring 1941 became part of Hungary again. However, brief informational items by local authors and various institutions are of considerable value for researchers of the epoch.
