9781938292071: A Short History of Carpathian Rus'

Synopsis

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.

À propos de l'auteur

Simeon Pyzh was born in Wapienne in the Lemko Region in 1894. Caught up in mass arrests of suspected Russophiles at the outbreak of WW I, he was imprisoned in Europe’s first concentration camp of the twentieth century at Thalerhof before turning twenty-one. Drafted into service in the Austrian army on the Italian front, he defected to the Italians, recruiting hundreds of prisoners into the Italian Czechoslovak Legion. After receiving a doctorate in law at Prague’s Charles University, he came to the United States, where he devoted his life to his beloved Lemkos, helping establish the Lemko Relief Committee. He was a prolific writer and served as editor of the Lemko Assocation’s Karpatska Rus’ until his death in 1957.
