Transcarpathian Oblast - Geography - The Rusyns - Rusyn.org
The oblast was created by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on January 22, 1946, to replace *Transcarpathian Ukraine, a territorial entity dismantled at the same time.
The Transcarpathian oblast covers 12,800 square kilometers, with a population of 1,252,000 (1989) that averages 85 persons per square kilometer.

 Political Ruthenienism — A Ukrainian Problem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In December of 1994, the "minister of international affairs in Transcarpathian Rus" a Czech resident, Tibor Odnyk, officially requested that the President of the Russian Federation, Boris Yeltsin annul the agreement between the USSR and Czechoslovakia from June 29, 1945 reuniting Transcarpathia with Ukraine.
Anti-Ukrainian and anti-national separatist work of "The Society of Transcarpathian Ruthenians" and the "Provisional Government of Transcarpathian Rus'" without a doubt are supported by and are generously financed by those forces which are interested in destabilization in Ukraine, and are working to weaken the country ultimatly to its collapse.
The history of Transcarpathian (Hungarian) Ruthenians in the 16th to 20th centuries is tightly tied together with the history of Ukrainians (Ruthenians) in Halychyna.

 Transcarpathian Ukraine/Zakarpats’ka Ukraïna - Politics - The Rusyns - Rusyn.org   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Congress delegates approved a *Manifesto prepared in Moscow calling for “the reunification of Transcarpathian Ukraine with Soviet Ukraine,” and it elected governing organs for the Transcarpathian Ukrainian “state.” These consisted of an executive body, the 17-member National Council of Transcarpathian Ukraine/Narodna rada Zakarpats’koï Ukraïny, that is, a government with alleged full-fledged authority.
Consequently, no representative from Transcarpathian Ukraine was invited, not even in the role of an “extra,” to the negotiations and signing of the *Czechoslovak-Soviet Treaty on Transcarpathian Ukraine/Subcarpathian Rus’ that took place in Moscow on June 29, 1945.
It is not surprising, therefore, that “the state of Transcarpathian Ukraine” was abolished on January 1, 1946 by a decree of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR and the area demoted to a just another administrative entity—the *Transcarpathian oblast of the Ukrainian SSR—of the Soviet Union.

The Russian Ruthenians, who to the Tsarist Russia were simply a lost tribe of Greater Russia, were subjected to intensive Russification with their cultural distinctions suppressed until the 1905 revolution, when there was something of a thaw in the Russian attitude to ethnic autonomy.
The Hungarian Ruthenians, living in what is now Transcarpathian Ukraine, had a better time of things, with the accommodation of their identity going so far as the establishment of a Ruthenian Chair at the University of Lwow.
Ruthenia's progress to forming the Transcarpathian District(Oblast) of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic was complete on its liberation by Soviet troops, it only remained for Stalin to give the necessary orders and everything was complete.

Since the geographical mid-point of both areas is Uzhhorod, the administrative capital of the Transcarpathian Oblasf, one might expect that the Transcarpathian dialect would have been chosen.
However, it happens that the majority of Carpatho-Rusyn immigrants in the United States came from the northern portions of the old Hungarian counties of Szepes (Spis), Saros (Sarys) and Zemplen (Zemplin), areas of Lemkian speech in the Presov Region of present-day northeastern Slovakia.
Although Vysna Jablonka is not located in the center of the Presov Region and in fact is within a linguistic transitional zone between the Lemkian and Transcarpathian dialectal varieties, it nonetheless has the advantage of being completely within Carpatho-Rusyn linguistic territory and hence not greatly influenced by neighboring Slovak dialects.

The Galician radical opposition to the CPU had added its own question to the referendum since it rejected the republican question that required a vote on the preservation of the Union, albeit in modified form.
The significance of the ethnic composition of the population and historical factors as a determinant of voter behavior is clear also from the results in the Transcarpathian oblast', where—although the majority of the population is Ukrainian (77 percent)—ethnic minorities constitute well over 21 percent(Hungarians 13.7 percent, Russians 5.6 percent, Rumanians 2.3 percent).

Answering the question "Have you ever come across instances of disrespect for persons of different nationalities?" 33 percent of respondents answered "yes, and rather often." However, 53 percent said they witnessed such an attitude "rarely," while 12 percent said they had not come across such behavior at all.
In December 1991, when Ukrainians overwhelmingly voted for an independent Ukraine, Transcarpathian Oblast residents simultaneously held a vote on their autonomous status in Ukraine.
Some Ukrainians argue that the question about the region's autonomy was included in one phrase with the question about Ukraine's independence and thus people in Transcapathia supported the independence of the state rather than their self-rule.
