Movement for uniting of the north-eastern Slovakia with the Soviet Ukraine (1944 – 1945) in the context of the annexation of Transcarpathia by the USSR

Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2010, Vol 16, Issue 2

Abstract

In some historical approaches, the process of solution of Ruthenia question in the years 1944-1945 (which finally led to the transfer of this territory from the Czechoslovak state to the USSR) was developed in the Slovak territories too, and in a broad sense, it also influenced the “Ruthenian/ Ukrainian question” in Slovakia. The Mukatchevo manifest from the 26th of November 1944 has found an echo among the Ruthenian population in the Eastern Slovakia. Those inhabitants were inspired by the Movement for incorporation of the Nord-Eastern Slovakia to the USSR. However, their unifying tendency was not a consistent one and later, the Ukrainian National Council of Priasevcina (which supported this idea in the beginning) agreed the platform of the Kosice government program.
