The study examines the communists' share in separation of Carpathian Ruthenia from the Czechoslovak Republic between 1944 and 1945. It publishes a report of the Communist MP Josef Krosnar to the Department of International Information VKS(b). Krosnar was dispatched from Moscow to Carpathian Ruthenia in 1944 to work there for the party. His reports suggest that the communists, led by Ivan Turjanica, did not initiate Carpathian Ruthenia's separation movement, but favoured a policy of its autonomy within Czechoslovakia until late October 1944. They only adapted themselves to the situation after the movement increased and assumed leading roles, which brought all the political authority in the liberated territory of Carpathian Ruthenia to their hands. They took power in the newly created national committees and the supreme organ, the National Committee of Carpathian Ruthenia.

It traces the historical milestones of the cultural and national renaissance in Zakarpattia, which was annexed to the Czechoslovak Republic under the name of Carpathian Ruthenia in 1919 after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, as well as in the post-war period during the Soviet era. The preconditions for the opening of the museum in Uzhhorod and the ways in which the first museum collections were formed have been studied; the activity of persons who played key roles in the formation of the art museum is described.

The paper aims to describe the contribution of Ivan Pankievich (1887-1958), the scholar from Western Ukraine, who systematically collected linguistic data and folklore in the region of Western Ukraine and Ukrainian localities in Eastern Slovakia. He cooperated with his students and Ukrainian intelligentsia from the region of Western Carpathians. Pankevich published his results in the local Ukrainian as well as Czech and Slovak periodicals. He was teaching at the Charles University in Prague where he brought up a generation of scholars who investigated Ukrainian culture.

The year 1989 marked a new stage in the Slovak historiography which allowed a new reinterpretation of the previous research and opened up topics which were considered taboo until then. This article discusses the results of scientific research in the field of Rusyn´s history in the twenties of the last century. This later research showed that it was a crucial period for them. On the one hand, in this period began divergent development that separated Rusyns of eastern Slovakia from their countrymen in Ruthenia. On the other hand, while this development was initially perceived negatively, it is argued that of the entire homeland of Rusyns in the Carpathian Mountains, Rusyns in eastern Slovakia have probably the best prospects for their further national development.

The Greek Catholic Church in Carpathian Ruthenia held a prominent place in society and 1945 was a dramatic twist in the life of Greek Catholics in Carpathian Ruthenia. The connection to the Soviet Union was not only accompanied by the loss of freedom in the totalitarian regime, but also by the degradation of cultural values that have been built up in society for centuries. The Greek Catholic Church, as one of the most influential bearers the saint Cyril and Methodius cultural heritage of the Subcarpathian people, soon became a real cataclysm after the Soviet power came into existence, and officially ceased to exist, but in reality it continued to operate in real life until the resurgence after the fall of communism. The presented paper offers an outline of the issues of the activities of the Greek Catholic Church and its attitudes in the environment of the Czechoslovak Republic, during the Second World War and finally its fate in the process of affiliation of Carpathian Ruthenia to the Soviet Union.

The study concentrates on the political scene in Carpathian Ruthenia during the months of 1938 and the preceding Vienna Award as viewed by the political press service of the Provincial Office for Carpathian Ruthenia in Uzhhorod. The Czechoslovak authorities and security forces paid primary attention to the Heinlein's Carpathian German Party and the Unified Hungarian Party. They were also concerned with groups of Ukrainian and Czech Fascists. The Czechoslovak authorities only monitored activities of Ruthenian autonomist parties and Ruthenia Carpathian fractions of nationwide governmental parties (mainly agrarian and social democratic), which radicalized during the spring and summer months and stood behind a declaration of independence after adoption of the Munich Pact. This is also true about the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, which was the strongest Ruthenia Carpathian political subject at that time. The study contains a brief overview of parliamentary elections in Carpathian Ruthenia in May 1935 and a biography of politicians who represented the country in the parliament and the senate. The text is based on archive materials from the State Archives of Carpathian Ruthenia in Uzhhorod, the Berehovo branch.

When Czechoslovakia was founded, Slovaks and Rusyns became state-forming nations with competences and ambitions they did not have in pre-1918 Hungary. Having found themselves in this position, the Rusyns, in 1919, requested a change in the name from the Czecho-Slovak Republic (CSR) to the Czecho-Slovak-Rusyn Republic which, de facto, reflected the actual situation after the Treaty of Saint-Germain was signed in September 1919, when Carpathian Ruthenia became a part of the CSR. Rusyns, however, faced radical rejection and were given an explanation that Czechoslovakia had been internationally recognised as a new state and it was under that name the country was referred to in the key peace agreements, which was why any changes at that point were impossible. In the CSR, Rusyns and Slovaks got into conflict over the contact territory (North-Eastern Slovakia) and the shared (administrative) border dividing Slovakia from autonomous Carpathian Ruthenia. The conflict started in 1919 and continued throughout the entire interwar period.

As the Soviet Union disintegrated and eventually dissolved in 1991 many of its peoples, both so-called titular nationalities and national minorities, put forth demands for independence or, at the very least, self-rule for territories that were said to be the national homeland of a given people. Among the many peoples who put forward such demands were Carpatho-Rusyns, who, together with fellow citizens of other national backgrounds, demanded autonomy, or self-rule for the region of Trans-Carpathian in far western Ukraine. This essay examines from a historical perspective the question of autonomy or self-rule for Carpatho-Rusyns not only in present-day Ukraine’s Trans-Carpathian but in all the regions of historic Carpathian Ruthenia. The autonomy question in Carpathian Ruthenia is hardly new, but one that goes back to as long ago as 1848.
