This analytical note is a response by the expert to the letter “Stop a Discrimination Against Carpatho-Rusyns on the Basis of Nationality“ (dated 14 November 2019) from certain figures of Rusyns' associations in Zakarpattia Region of Ukraine, addressed to the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Against the complex historical, political, national and cultural development of Zakarpattia the author of this analytical note refutes baseless allegations and requirements of rusyn activists of the region to accept at constitutional level in Ukraine „Rusyn people“, „(Sub)Carpatho-Rusyn ethnicity“, to give him supposedly legal, historical rights of autonomy, to protect him from a so called “discrimination and genocide”
