Ruthenia is a name applied to parts of Eastern Europe which were populated by Eastern Slavic peoples, as well as to various states that existed in this territory in the past.
By the end of the 12th century, the word Ruthenia was used, among the alternative spelling Ruscia and Russia, in Latin papal documents to denote the lands formerly dominated by Kiev.
The territories of Halych-Volynia in the south fell under Roman Catholic Lithuanian and Polish influence, and therefore were usually denoted by the Latin Ruthenia, because the Pope preferred this spelling.

A final ablution is introduced, and the holy vessels remain on the altar until the Mass is finished, instead of being carried to the side altar (prothesis) as in the Byzantine Rite.
The absence of the deacon or deacons in the Ruthenian Mass will be particularly noticed, for that is the rule except in cases of cathedral Masses or pontifical Masses, corresponding to the usages of the Roman solemn high Mass, and then the deacon is usually a priest who reverts to his former order.
The clergy among the Ruthenians usually follow the Roman rule and are shaven, unlike the general rule among the Greek clergy of other countries, whether Catholic or Orthodox.

The analysis begins with the Romans, a “constitutional” people in that their common identity was based on the observation of law and the allegiance of different groups of people brought together by history.
Although they recognized the heterogeneous complexity of their own society, “Roman imperialists found it easier to deal with others as though they were homogeneous ethnic peoples than to acknowledge that the ‘other’ could be as complex and fluid as the Romans themselves” (57).
The decline of the Roman Empire brought political incentives for the Romans to shift the meaning of what it meant to be Roman, perhaps most notably incorporating and elevating Christianity—a reason for persecution under Diocletian—as a key element of Romanness under Constantine.

For many centuries, the term "Empire" in the West applied exclusively to states which considered themselves to be successors to the Roman Empire, such as the Byzantine Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, or, later, the Russian Empire ruled from the "Third Rome" (Moscow).
The actual political concept predates the Romans by several hundred years: empires began to appear soon after the first cities made the necessary administrative structures possible.
The Holy Roman Empire, itself in a sense a re-constitution of the Roman Empire, underwent many transformations in its long history, fissuring extensively, experimenting with federalism and re-constituting itself as the Austrian Empire - vastly different in nature and in territory.
