Note: most of the areas outside Ukraine are thinly populated areas in the Carpathian mountains, probably more non-Rusyns live in surrounded/close-by cities than the number of all Rusyns.
There were also some post-WWII converts in Western Slovakia. Ask your friend where she comes from. (Better yet, if she is progressive and wouldn't be bothered by the high frequency of atheists here, invite her to post on ET!) *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
(BTW sorry I should have pointed out it is an 1910 map, but I couldn't find a newer one.) *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.

I'll see if I can give it a try - there is this language constraint - I know it can be overcome. And she is shy.
I will try to convince two extremely intelligent people I know to come have a look.
One is Ukrainian, having lived for a long time in Armenia. The other is Armenian, having lived a long time in Lebanon.
They have had an incredibly eventful life, what with earthquakes, bombs, regime collapse, and what have you. They have a real world outlook.
Thanks so much for the Carpathian map. Looks like it is at a crossroads of many influences. Must be interesting to visit. And read about.
