In the spring of 1941, Vojvodina, with its Carpatho-Rusyns, was annexed to Hungary.
The Rusyns in the new province had their own governor and elected representatives in both houses of the national parliament in Prague; they were considered one of the three state peoples of Czechoslovakia.
It doesn't bode well for these nations that Rusyns from America and Canada are now returning to find out about their ancestors and to connect with the homeland.

 Rusyn language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rusyn language spoken in the Pannonian plain, or more concretely in north-western Serbia and eastern Croatia (therefore also called Yugoslavo -Rusyn, Vojvodina -Rusyn or Bačka -Rusyn) is closer to West Slavic languages, to Slovak in particular.
This mixture is due to the fact that these Rusyns emigrated to Bačka from Eastern Slovakia around the middle of the 19th century, but are Greek Catholics and therefore have close linguistic and cultural ties with Ukraine.
Many very active Rusyns also live in Canada and the USA.

Rusyns in the Osijek district of Croatia, where Vukovar and two Rusyn villages are located, took a neutral stand in the struggle, but they were not able to maintain that position for long.

The Rusyn presence in the Vojvodina dates back to the 1740s, when immigrants from the Carpathian homeland (mostly from southern Zemplyn and Ung counties in eastern Slovakia) began to arrive on the fertile plains along the Danube River.

 Rusyns - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rusyns, also called Ruthenians, Ruthenes, Rusins, Rysins, Carpatho-Rusins, and Russniaks, are a modern group of ethnic groups that speak the Rusyn language and are descended from the minority of Ruthenians who did not adopt a Ukrainian national identity and become Ukrainians in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Rusyn, less accurately referred to as the Ruthenian language, is in substance like Ukrainian -- enough so that the Ukrainian government considers it merely a dialect of Ukrainian, to the resentment of some Rusyns.
The Rusyn language in Vojvodina, however, sharing many similarities with Slovak, is sometimes considered a separate (micro)language, and sometimes a dialect of Slovak; see Pannonian Rusyn language for details.

Rusyn organizations in each country are concerned primarily with preserving the group’s existence as a distinct nationality through cultural activity, such as publications and the work of scholarly institutions, schools, and theaters.
Villages were frequently destroyed by marauding troops and the size of the Rusyn population declined because of flight or death by disease brought by soldiers in the wake of foreign invasions.
