Rusyns
The Rusyns article is more specific to those who lived in the region of Velykyy Bychkiv in 1910. The Ruthenians article describes a much broader term. It is our job as Wikipedians to use to more specific term here. Khoikhoi 00:21, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Please read carefully the first paragraph of the article Rusyns.
 * Rusyns (also referred to as Ruthenians, Ruthenes, Rusins, Carpatho-Rusyns, and Rusnaks) are a modern ethnic group that speaks the Rusyn language and are descended from the minority of Ruthenians who did not adopt a Ukrainian national identity in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
 * This mean that the term Rusyns can be applied only to the late twentieth century, in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries they (as well as a part of Ukrainians) were Ruthenians. Moreover, most of the people living in Velykyy Bychkiv adopted Ukrainian rather than Rusyn identity (see Census results).--AndriyK 06:28, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
