[edit]

I want to ask you all to prevent Ukrainian wiki terrorists attacking untruths this article. Lemko, Boyko and Hutsuls belong to one group we call Ruthenians. No Ukrainians are not and never were!

Please take care of removing all false trends show Rusyns as a sub-ethnic group. Rusyns are a nation without national borders. Like the Kurds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.41.47.145 (talk) 11:20, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

are you an 1d10t? Did you ever hear that people from whose name is saying? Say to somebody of hutzuls or boykos that they are not ukrainians, and they in the best case for you will call you a psychopath. This is not funny more. Do you really think that those people dont associate themself with ukrainian ethnicity? Get real, make tour in these regions and listen people there. actually those are the most nationalistic ukrainians and their spoken language is the purest ukrainian dialects, because eastern and south ukraine is totally russificated and denationalized and center speaks surzhik. Finally, read the history, who fight under yellowblue and redblack flags during 20th century for ukrainian people republic, west ukrainian people republic, Pidcarpathian ukraine, upa? Omg! Why you idiots are such idiots? All this movement of making of mountain ukrainian subgroups some new ethnic entity, exists only in the heads of such inadeqauate persons like this above. People in ukraine belonging to mentioned subgroubs do not even suspect neither about such a movemement nor about that they are not ukrainians. Stop lying! Go to psychiatrist, dont pervert the information into fars! Слухай мудак, звідки ти є і для чого тобі треба ця брехня?

You're wrong! I personally know dozens of Lemkos, and not a single one of them feels Ukrainian. Neither of them can speak Ukrainian. The fact that you have been assimilating Lemkos for decades in Ukraine does not mean that they are Ukrainians. They are not Ukrainians either culturally or genetically!!! And there is research for that, which luckily makes people like you and their opinions irrelevant. Sundeland (talk) 12:46, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Lemkos you "know personally" might be the ones located outside of Ukraine, especially in Poland where campaigns to separate or distill their identity was conducted to prevent Lemkos support of Ukrainian Insurgent Army (and yet they were nonetheless deported multiple times as Ukrainians). Indeed Lemkos history might be much more detailed than initially seen, yet it doesn't mean that you have any right to deny them identity and historical research that they choose to complete.
P S
Whoever Lemkos might end up being they are least likely to be Rusyns - a heavily under-researched people with a undetermined naming as well as further divided genetically: the Rusyns living in different neighboting countries have more blood connections to their nationalities than amongs themselves. 2601:43:3:BC50:F5D7:BB63:2:F53D (talk) 04:49, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lemko history and identity

[edit]

The article already reveals a split and controversy over the local identity of Lemko vis a vis the older regional and national name, Ruthenian and its variants; and the newer replacement term for Ruthenian/Rus': Ukrainian/Ukraine. What's the point to repeating it--or, especially, repeating certain portions of it?

It is patently false to assert that the Lemki "never participated in Ukrainian movement." The geography of the Lemkos placed them at the end of an historical process. The choice of the ancient name "Ukrainian" as the primary proper first name for the people of Rus'(Ruthenians)was made at the ancient capital of Kyiv in the mid-1800s, from where it spread rather rapidly over the Russian-governed areas of Rus'. It then became dominant in the Ukrainian portion of Austria (Eastern Galicia) only around 1900, and in the Ukrainian portion of Hungary only around thirty years later--in both cases through an historical process of discussion and controversy. Lastly, the controversy became well-developed in Lemko-land only well into the 20th century. The outcome of this process is not lobbied for in the present article, and it shouldn't be. The ultimate question is, "What is a Lemko relative to the surrounding nation states of Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine?" They either belong to one of these nations/nationalities, either integrally or as a regional variant, or form a nation of their own.

The UPA was not a species of ape, but an insurgent army fighting for independence. Mentioning military colloboration with ethnic neighbors is beyond the scope of this small, NPOV article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Genyo (talk • contribs) . March 24, 2004

is it because as you say the lemko were at the end of the historical process of the adoption of the term "ukraine" or is it because the term "ukraine" meaning "frontier" in slavic had no relevance to the rusyns living in the northern carpathians, surrounded as they were by fellow slavs, whereas to the occupants of the middle dnepr river, facing towards the khanate of the crimea (turko-mongol, and often mounting destructive raids) it was very relevant? of course in early medieval times kyiv was the capital of "rus", the kingdom which united most of the eastern slavs until defeated by the mongols. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.93.21.8 (talk • contribs) . February 5, 2005
Kost Levytsky was the founder of the Ukrainian National Democratic movement and the leader of the State Representative Body of the Ukrainian government. As a prosecutor for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he played a role in the sentencing to death of Ukrainian Russophiles. As a member of the ruling elite of Austrian Galicia, Kost Levytsky sent Lemkos to imprisonment in Talerhof, but only later identified himself as a Ukrainian nationalist. For this reason, Lemkos often do not consider themselves to be Ukrainians. Is it any wonder that the people he sentenced to death or imprisonment and their children did not join his movement?

Rusniaki

[edit]

Why does Rusniaki redirect here? It should be explict toward the top of the article, for someone who actually knows something about this. --1pezguy 05:08, Jul 31, 2004 (UTC)

It looks like another name for them in one of the related languages, but I can't tell exactly which. It might also be another name for the Rusyns in general (notice the similarity, probably similar etymology). That page lists "Russniaks" as a synonym. --Shallot 11:24, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

It seems to me, technically, while "Rusniaki" might redirect here, a better place would be to Rusyn or some form of Ruthenian. The name "Rusniak" is used as a surname and a local variant of "Rusyn," especially in today's Eastern Slovakia (well, perhaps more in the past than today). Genyo 20:28, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I have addressed it in the openning paragraph. Historically, Rusnak was always used and Lemko was never used at all. Today, Lemko is used nearly to the exclusion of all other names, partiuclarly among the Lemkos of Poland. 75.67.40.227 22:55, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Language

[edit]

Is Lemko a dialect of Rusyn? Is Lemko a subgroup of Rusyn? This is very perplexing. If Lemko is considered a dialect of Ukrainian, then what is the relationship with Rusyn. --Bandurist 11:28, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Considering Lemko language as a dialect of Slovak language is not seriuos and it is not based on the serious language research so in my opinion it should be removed from the Lemkos page as on the wiki should be not mentioned something what the one says somwhere in the pub. --Gazeb 09:51, 29 May 2010

In my opinion, Bandurist, it is both. The term "Rusyn" derives - going way back - to Kyivan Rus' and the settlements of eastern slavic people in east-central Europe. "Ukrainian" is a more modern national identifier. The spread of Ukrainian identity happened after the 1848 "Spring of Nations" phenomena, and gained strength in the 20th century. When it comes to identity and who is a subgroup of what, you're asking a question that can get a different answer depending on whom you speak with. Lemkos are particularly interesting because of the fact that their settlements went so far west into Poland, into counties like Gorlice & Nowy Sacz, and stretched south of the Carpathians into the Presov region of Slovakia. The Ukrainianization of Rusyns/Rus'naks/Lemkos in Poland didn't reach that far partly because the Ukrainian nationalist movement didn't view some of the western counties as "historic Ukrainian lands," a view of the territory that pretty closely matches the territory of the western-most Rus' principality from medieval times (Halych-Volhynia.) However, it should be noted that there were Ukrainian oriented Lemkos in Gorlice and other regions, it just wasn't as prevalent. It was probably a phenomenon that spread due to Ukrainian activists, priests and teachers, although there is some compelling historical theories that suggest that these people originated from the same place (indeed the same places as Russians and Belarusians, if you go back far enough.) It also seems plausible to presume that that Ukrainian nationalism phenomena that spread across Poland in the 20th century was interrupted by the post WWII deportation campaigns.) To conclude, no wonder the Lemkos argue about their own identity (there are "Lemko-Rusyns" and "Lemko-Ukrainians") - their history is so complicated combined with a lack of documented history in medieval times- which leaves it open to interpretation.

не настільки володію англ., того напишу укр., можливо ви її розумієте.

Мені дивно наскільки серйозно переоцінюється відмінність сх.-слов від решти. Які теорії про "те саме походження" ви маєте на увазі? Лемки суть автохтони на своїй землі і риси їхньої мови які споріднюють їх з рештою сусідів цілком природньо виглядають. Вони суть на самому заході українського діалектного континууму, це лінгвістично доведено і немає ніякої потреби це якось вязати з політичними рухами. Між так званими зах і сх словянами немає лінгвістично такої великої різниці а головне немає розриву, щоб робити ці безглзді розмежування і ліпити штучні теорії про спільне походження росіян українців і білорусів, яке разом з тим окреме від поляків словаків тощо. Бо це суперечить істині, і на прикладі лемків це дуже добре відчувається: їхня мова найближча до української, але від російської вона значно дальша ніж від польської чи словацької , і це природньо. Просто ніколи не існувало ніякої єдиної східнословянської мови, не було ніякого спільного походження. Було словянське море, в якому зпоміж інших існував український (чи називайте як вам подобається) континуум зі своїм набором особливостей. Лемкам не треба було нізвідкись "спільно походити", вони опинились на межі цього континууму розділяючи з ним багато спільного, але разом з тим будучи межовим розділяючи спільні риси з іншими сусідами. Невже і справді хтось вірить шо 1000 років тому мова предків лемків була однаковою з мовою словян Оки, і значно відрізнялась від предків словаків що жило в сотні км по сусідству? Те саме можна сказати й про мову галичан і волинян. І ще, те що лемківські землі врізаються клином на захід, скоріше свідчення консервації в горах лгше ізолюватися від полнізації, скоріш за все раніше ареал укр мовних ознак був західніше не тільки в горах але й північніше на рівнині, та тільки швидше полонізувався. І ополячені Холмщина з Підляшшям підтверджують цю думку 77.52.154.117 (talk) 21:48, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Famous "Lemkos"

[edit]

I deleted the whole thing the first time, but the second time only deleted names who either 1) did not have any relation to lemkos or rusyns or 2) did not have pages

Lists like these are usually deleted on wikipedia from what I've seen, mostly because they are ambiguous in defining "famous" or "important".

Anyway, the rest left....most are cited as being Rusyn (like andy warhol) but why are they listed on a lemko page?? what's the relation? or is this just guesswork? --Lvivske (talk) 20:15, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree with Lvivske - I don't think that's true (Andy Warhol was Rusyn, but Lemko - hmmm...I've never heard that, and our group deals with this Lemko business.  ;) LemkoProject (talk) 18:19, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Let's see

Pretty famous guy in Ukraine. he was a repressed poet who is now being greatly admired and become an admired person -

Don't know Actually, Paul Best is a noted authority on Lemkos. He has written several books, some co-authored with Jaroslaw Moklak, and he is also the President of the Lemko Association (aka Lemko Soyuz.) Recommend keeping him on the list. LemkoProject (talk) 18:19, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know -

Don't know.

For the lemko's and Rusyns this guy is their Shevchenko -

Kubijovyc stated that he was Lemko. He was the editor of the Ukrainian encyclopedia. Vey famous person. -

Never heard of him

Very famous painter in Poland in the primitive style. Nice film about him.

Never heard of him

Never heard of him -

verbytsky was born in Uluch (now in Poland) on the San river. He was Lemko. He's buried in Pzymysl in Poland. You can't get a more famous Lemko.

Although his folks come from the Lemko region, they come from the Slovak side of the border and in general I have seen that he was of Rusyn background more than Lemko.

  • Andy Kay, inventor of the digital voltmeter (1953), and inductee of the Computer Hall of Fame for founding Kaypro Computers.
