Explanation:
VOIR RECOUPEMENT DE TEXTES CI-APRES :

Le Legs de Caïn (Contes Galiciens): Don Juan de Kolomea. Chapitre premier.
...(1) Kolomea, ville d'environ 10 000 âmes, est le chef-lieu d'un cercle de la Galicie; elle est bâtie sur l'emplacement d'une ancienne colonie romaine, d'où lui vient probablement son nom. On sait que la partie orientale de la Galicie est peuplée par 3 millions de Petits-Russiens, qui appartiennent à l'Église grecque unie



What do the Slovaks say about the RUSINS? Volod. Hnatjuk divides all the RUSINS (i.e. Greek Rite Catholic
Uniates) into two groups: 1. Rusnaks, 2. Sloviaks. Rusnaks are those Rusins, who use the infinitive ending with "ti" and do not use the word "DZE". The Sloviaks use the infinitive ending "C" (TS)) and use the word "DZE". The first he names Rusnaks and the other Sloviaks - Slovensky (the contrary to Slovaks).

Ruthènes de Hongrie Rusin or Rusyn in Hungary


Explanation:

http://www.eurominority.org/index-fr.asp

Rusins are part of the Slavic branch of indo-European peoples which consist of many subgroups. Besides Rusins there are Belorusans, Bulgarians, Croats, Czechs, Macedonians, Poles, Russians, Serbs, Slovaks, Slovenes, Sorbs, and Ukrainians.


These subgroups are divided into three branches: The West, South, and East Slavs. The Rusins belong to the East branch. They lived in or near the Carpathian Mountains (hence Carpatho), which once served as the border between Poland and Hungary.


The general usage of the term Rusin (or Rusyn) dates back over eleven centuries. It is here that the origin of the word Rus' signifies the ethnic tie to the loosely knit political entity of Kievan Rus' (hence Rusin) which existed from the late ninth to the early thirteenth century.


Since that time, political developments have dictated name changes. By the twentieth century the original name Rusin or Rus' was maintained only in the Carpathian Mountain region by 1) Rusins of Subcarpathian Rus' and the Presov region of Czecho-Slovakia, 2) the Lemko Rusins of Poland, and 3) Rusins of Vojvodina, Yugoslavia. In 1945, soon after World War II, Rusins in Czecho-Slovakia and in Subcarpathian Rus'/Transcarpathia, which was annexed to the Soviet Union, were officially designated by the Stalinist communists as Ukrainian.
