So, the "Catholic Encyclopedia" published in 1913 describes the "Ukrainians" as follows:

… political parties were formed among the Rusyns of Galicia and Hungary … They are divided into three main groups:

- “Ukrainians”, those who believe in the development of Rusyns along their own line, independent of Russia, Poles or Germans.

- "Moskvophiles", those who look at Russia as an example of the Russian-Slavic race.

- "Ugro-Russians" or "Hungarian Rusyns", those who oppose Hungary, against its rules; those who do not want to lose their special status … The ideas of the "Ukrainians" are especially unpleasant for them.

Explanatory video:

The Catholic Encyclopedia confirms that:

• Ukraine is a word formed from the phrase "at the edge" to designate the outlying lands of the Russian Empire;

• The territory of Russia (present-day Ukraine), after the transfer of the capital of Russia from Kiev to Moscow, began to be called Little Russia;

• Russians lived in territories up to Austria and Hungary and because of romanization they were called "Ruthenians" (Ruthenian);

• On the territory of Western Ukraine (Bukovina, Galicia, Volyn) Russians lived and professed the Christian Orthodox faith (now Orthodoxy);

• Little Russia was temporarily separated from Great Russia and for five centuries was a part of Poland and Lithuania;

• The idea of separatism in Little Russia arose at the beginning of the 20th century against the background of revolutionary sentiments in Russia;

• Little Russia separatism, "Ukrainian", Romanization, invention of a new alphabet in Little Russia supported the authorities of Austria-Hungary and Poland to polonize Russians and separate them from the Russian Empire;

• On the territory of Little Russia and Austria-Hungary, three main political trends appeared - Ukrainians, Muscophiles and Hungarian Rusyns;

• Great Little Russian writers, such as Gogol and Shevchenko, wrote not in Little Russian, but in Great Russian;

• Great Russian and Little Russian languages come from the common Old Slavic language.
