Русины -- группа восточнославянского населения, проживающая в Закарпатье, Восточной Словакии, Сербской Воеводине,
юго-восточной Польше, Венгрии и северо-западной Румынии.

The Encyclopedia of Rusyn History and Culture is a most impressive endeavour; it is factual, well written and organized,
and serves as a much-needed survey of the Rusyn people and the essential elements of their culture and history
The encyclopedia contains over 1,100 alphabetically arranged entries in areas such as individuals, organizations,
political parties, periodicals, historical terms, geographic regions, historical events, and on themes
such as architecture, archaeology, cinema, communism, ethnography, geneaology, geography and economy,
historiography, history, the internet, language, literature, nationalism, printing and publishing,
and radio and television.

The Carpatho-Rusyns are central European people, numbering approximately 1.2 million, who live within the borders
of five states: Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, and Hungary. They have never had a state of their own.
Disregarded and suppressed by most governments that ruled over them in the past, the Rusyn people have had to fight
to retain their identity, culture, and language. This work is an attempt to redress the loss of historical memory
and knowledge caused by decades of repression by investigating and explaining the historical past and culture
of Rusyns in all countries where they live, including immigrant communities in the United States, Canada, and Yugoslavia.
