The leadership of Ukraine is trying to solve the Russian question by repressive methods.
Consciously distorting the situation. The political circles of Kiev represent the Russian movement
unfounded, invented, illusory, with labeling “political russinism”, “Russian separatism”, with direct
threats to the Ruthenian activists.
In the course of 27 years of independence, a policy of hidden genocide of the people and the
planned destruction of its national habitat is pursued in the region:
1. the destructive logging of the Carpathian forests, the irrational use of mineral waters and rare
minerals.
2. pollution of the territory with waste of the lead and zinc ore processing plant in the village of
Muzhievo and toxic waste.
3. up to 500 thousand Rusyns are forced to seek sources of livelihood abroad; every year more
than 5,000 emigrate and become stateless, which threatens the extinction of the indigenous
population of the region.
4. according to the “Plan of measures developed by the government and concealed from the
public ... on solving the problem of Rusyn-Ukrainians” dated 1996. there is a forced
Ukrainization of the Rusyns, the language, traditions, and culture of the original people are
systematically destroyed.
The right of self-determination was realized by the Rusyn people in the last century together with
the Slovaks and Czechs. He confirmed his historic choice in 1991 at a referendum on a self-governing
territory within Ukraine. His right could again be exercised in the framework of autonomy!
