Talk:1991 Transcarpathian general regional referendum

Neutrality of article in current form disputed
Today this article is written from non-encyclopedic point of view. It seems to be written to proof the point that the results of the referendum should be put in practice as soon as possible. In its current form this article is a political phamflet, not a Wikipedia article. Nothing was done with the results of the referendum; sources who defend this need to be included into the article to make it more balanced. —  Yulia Romero  • Talk to me!  15:04, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Instead of accusations, pls prove your point that this referendum is not legally binding. Fakirbakir (talk) 08:48, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * My problem was the POV-pushing style the article was written in.... I did not write on this talk page "this referendum is not legally binding". Wikipedia talk pages are for discussing the article, not for general conversation about the article's subject (much less other subjects) anyway. —  Yulia Romero  • Talk to me!  15:14, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Indeed, referendum should be respected as was respected independence of Baltic states. Transcarpathia was forcible military occupied by Soviet Union in 1946 before it has never in history been a part of Russia or Ukraine.2A01:9480:8EA:B801:1141:1C21:730C:5397 (talk) 10:26, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
 * The people who founded the Republic of Carpatho-Ukraine in 1939 did not agree that "Transcarpathia never in history was a part of Ukraine"..... —  Yulia Romero  • Talk to me!  15:23, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

The Subcarpathian Hungarians first made public their claim for autonomy in the referendum of 1st December 1991. Where the district of Beregszász (Beregovo) is concerned the Ukrainian state still has not recognized territorial autonomy. The KMKSZ, the organization which represents the interests of the Hungarian community in Subcarpathia, keeps applying the necessary pressure. On 28th April 1992 the council in Beregszász passed a bill laying down the legal principles for the creation of an autonomous Hungarian district. The enactment was also supported by the Rumanian and Ukrainian delegates of the Beregszász council. The council has furthermore made an urgent appeal to parliamentary representatives in Kiev to adopt this bill. At the moment things have come to a standstill but this does not mean that the drive to regenerate Hungarian identity in Subcarpathia has in any way weakened. On 2nd March 1995 the Hungarian Ukrainian parliamentary representative, Mihály Tóth from Beregszász, managed to get the Ukrainian parliament in Kiev to agree to restoring all the original Hungarian place names in the three Subcarpathian districts of Beregszász (Beregovo), Nagyszöllös (Vinogradov) and Ungvár (Uzsgorod). Henceforth the Hungarian place names will be the officially recognized names instead of the Ukrainian equivalents or translations. http://www.federatio.org/mi_bibl/LaszloMaracz_HR.pdf
