Leo Ruthenorum

Why did the Rusyns adopt the name Ukrainians? A contemporary of this shift, a professor of Rusyn language and literature at the University of Lemberg, provides the answer: #Rusyns #Ruthenians #Ruthenia #Ukraine #GaliciaLodomeria #OmelianOhonovsky

@Dijacz I wouldn't rule it out. Approximately 85% of all Ruthenians in Austria-Hungary lived in Galicia. And they migrated extensively.

@vithimerius Interesting. So maybe Harvilčák is a metathesized form of this?

Sorry for changing my display name every two business days, but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to name myself after the Harvilčáks, which isn't even recognized in Slovak autocomplete. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%93%D0…

@Dijacz In Ukraine, both the suffix -chak and the surname Havryl'chak are most common in Galicia.

@_kabibara_ @fajerkiper @carbo_al "Khohol is a name given to Ruthenians by Russians, as if to describe their disheveled hair, like a tuft or a splayed sheaf."

@fajerkiper @carbo_al You got him at ruthenians are not khohols, so he had to ghost you

Russia attacked a historic Ukrainian Catholic Church in the UNESCO designated old town of Lviv I’m pretty sure this is a war crime

@angry_chopin @DeeCeeBet In Russian it sounds like /kijif/ or /kijɛf/ and /l’vof/

@angry_chopin @DeeCeeBet Both Кꙑєвъ /kyjɛvŭ/ and Львовъ /l’vovŭ/ represent Old East Slavic forms. Following the loss of yers, vowels in newly closed syllables underwent phonological shifts. In particular, in proto-Ukrainian, *e and *o in closed syllables developed into /i/ or /ji/ (ikavism)

Reminder: Kyiv ✅ Kiev ❌ Odesa ✅ Odessa ❌ Zaporizhzhia ✅ Zaporozhye ❌ Mykolaiv ✅ Nikolaev ❌ Kharkiv ✅ Kharkov ❌ Luhansk ✅ Lugansk ❌ Lviv ✅ Lvov ❌ Chornobyl ✅ Chernobyl ❌ Bakhmut ✅ Artemovsk ❌ Dnipro ✅ Dnieper ❌ Donbas ✅ Donbass ❌

@Oksii33 Wolves should be part of the security of sheepfolds

Send this 🤡 finally to russia…

@EdmapsCom Ok, I'm just clarifying that this refers to the same people. Here's another French perspective: x.com/vithimerius/st…

@vithimerius The map presented a French view: it was made and published by Excelsior, a French journal.

History, nations, and #maps: Ethnographic map of Austria-Hungary, 1918, from Excelsior (#Paris), June 27, 1918. When Eastern Galicia was divided between Ruthenians, Little Russians and Hutsuls... #map #carte #French #newspaper #journal #history #historical #nationalism #nationalities #war #WWI #ethnographic #CentralEurope #mitteleuropa #Austria #Hungary #Germany #Ukraine #Galicia #Russia #Poland #Romania #Slovakia #Serbia #Croatia #Czechia #Slovenia #France #Germany

@o0o_oo_o0o @DDMste @Ohmeous However, the ancient Lithuanian city of Vilnius was Polonized to an even greater extent than the ancient Ruthenian city of Lviv.

@o0o_oo_o0o @DDMste @Ohmeous At the time, there were virtually no cities in Ruthenian ethnic territories where the Ruthenian-speaking population constituted a majority, although it formed an absolute majority in the surrounding rural areas and across the regions overall in both the A.H. and Russian Empires.

To be fair, russia still employs the methods from Soviet Union. First they displace/deport/murder the local populations Later replace them with russians And after 50 years they weaponize those russians by claiming "X country is oppressing "ethnic" russians".

@GeopolRomania @Orest_Baback This land constituted the core territory of the Kingdom of Ruthenia. The Western Ukrainian People's Republic was proclaimed by Galician Ruthenians. Kyiv did not participate in the conflict. Galicians fought for their land alone.

@Orest_Baback What are you talking about "partitioning Ukraine"? The lands in question hadn't been ruled from Kiev for nearly 1000 years. We were partitioning the Austro-Hungarian empire (which had colonized Ukrainians into the region).

🇷🇴🇵🇱 In 1919, the government of the Second Polish Republic requested help from Kingdom of Romania during the Polish–Ukrainian conflict over Galicia. Romanian troops entered Pokuttya to secure the area from the Austro-Hungarian empire and later handed it over to Poland.

@chovnovyi Навпаки, це спричинило змосковщення колишніх селян і поширення такого явища, як суржик/трасянка, у селах.

@chovnovyi Під час радянської індустріалізації/урбанізації українські й білоруські селяни почали масово переселятися до міст. Однак це не призвело до українізації чи білорусизації міст, навіть попри формальну відсутність заборони на українську та білоруську мови.👇

Про "прокляття чорнозему" в українській історії, про яке яке пишуть дослідники імперського періоду. Воно мало одну причину і 2 складники. Прична - родюча земля. Складники: 1) пани хотіли більшого закріпачення селян 2) селяни будували свою стратегію суто на "купити ще землі" 1/7

@omnilox_id @NinaLinkor598 @MindenSzo get lost, stupid troll

@vithimerius @NinaLinkor598 @MindenSzo Ukrainians have nothing to do with Polans (not "Polianians", wtf). This nation has been manufactured in XX century and Ukraine is an artificial state comprised of lands stolen by Soviet Uninon from Poland, Hungary and Russia.

@omnilox_id @NinaLinkor598 @MindenSzo Kyiv was founded centuries before the local Polianians began to call themselves Rusyns.

@NinaLinkor598 @MindenSzo Kyiv was founded by Ruthenians (Rusini) despite your nazi-banderite manufactured fairytales. And the fact that Ukrainians are now trying to push narrative that they are decendants of Polans is disgusting.

@ClySuva @NOELreports It was a general rehearsal before the invasion of Georgia. By promoting the idea of the Latgalian and Narva people's republics and through the Bronze Night riots, they were practicing methods of hybrid warfare while testing the reaction of the West

@NOELreports Not many people realize this, but The 2014 Ukraine Model is a development of the failed 2007 Estonia model. This is not the first time they've tried to create faux separatism in Estonia

Russian social media channels have been promoting a fictitious "People's Republic of Narva" in eastern Estonia since early March, calling for sabotage and armed resistance. Estonian intelligence told Bild it cannot exclude the narrative is preparing a Russian incursion modeled on Ukraine 2014. #NATO

@JakubPoplawski @ser_crispincool @POMAHMOBA Also White (North) and Red (South) Croatia

@ser_crispincool @POMAHMOBA They are called White Ruthenians not White Russians. Colours came from the Turkic association of colours with geographic directions brought with the Golden Horde administration, hence South Ruthenia is called Red Ruthenia.

Sure man call a region of belarus black ruthenia why not
