 | | 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. |
