The Rusin question in the historical context of the Slovak-Ukrainian relations

This article aims to explore the most important historical aspects of the Rusyn question in the context of Slovak-Ukrainian relations. It maps major points of Slovak-Rusyn relations in the past, including development of Rusyn minority in modern Slovakia. In addition, it analyses political dimension of Rusyn question in Slovak-Ukrainian relations brought by the fact that unlike Slovakia Ukraine did not recognize Rusyns as a separate national minority after it became independent state in 1992. Authors of this article argue that different approaches of Ukraine and Slovakia towards Rusyn minority living in their borderland after the regime change at the turn of 1980s and 1990s could be explained first of all by specific and mostly positive historical experience of Slovaks with Rusyns with whom they shared common past in the same state formations until 1947.
