Re: Ahead of the Slovakian Elections... (none / 1)

Note that the map is of Ruthenian areas circa 1910, not currently. The Ruthenians areas in Poland were ethnically cleansed after WWII in Operation Wisla (Vistula), that followed on and overlapped with a really vicious civil war between the Polish (Catholic) and Ruthenian (Uniate) populations in the area - lots of tit for tat massacres of villages by both sides. The Ruthenians were scattered all over Poland, mostly in the former German areas.

Re: Ahead of the Slovakian Elections... (none / 0)

That would be an interesting diary subject, should some anniversary come up!

(BTW sorry I should have pointed out it is an 1910 map, but I couldn't find a newer one.)
