A Short History of Carpathian Rus'

In this short book, Simeon Pyzh, a scholar of Carpathian Rus’, forthrightly presents his views that:

• The Slavic population of Carpathian Rus’ is autochthonous to their region— it is their original homeland!
• The appropriate language for Carpathian Rus’ is neither literary Russian, nor literary Ukrainian, but the people’s own language!
• The conflict between Russophiles and Ukrainophiles in Carpathian Rus’ was regrettable; they had been played off against each other as part of a ‘divide and rule’ strategy.

His insights remain valuable today, over seventy-five years after they were first published, and this new translation makes them more accessible than ever to the English-language reader.

Also included are a new biography of the author and the entire original 1938 text.
