Anton Beskid (1855–1933) was one of the leading Rusyn politicians of the first half of the twentieth century. He influenced political developments not only in eastern Slovakia and Subcarpathian Ruthenia, but also to a significant extent at the nationwide level. Nevertheless, Slovak historiography has paid little attention to his role in social and political life. The present study analyses Anton Beskid’s political activity during the interwar period, based on surviving primary sources and contemporary press materials. The contribution is divided into two sections. The first outlines Beskid’s political engagement in the interwar years; the second examines his political positions on key issues of public life, which in turn shaped political developments in the rest of the republic.
