Le 19 Décembre dernier s'est tenue à Rostov sur le Don , à l'initiative de la Fondation pour la Culture Stratégique du Géneral Leonid Ivashov  , un congrés sur le ( trés ) triste sort des Russyns sous la dictature de la clique Orangiste au pouvoir à Kyiv . Un lecteur de ce blogue , que vous pouvez retrouver sur le blogue  d' Alexandre Latsa " Dissonances " , me rappele ce dossier .
Je vous en livre la résolution finale ( En  Anglais ) . Le dossier Ruthène prend toute son importance dans la lutte qui oppose actuellement GAZPROM et la clique au pouvoir  à Kyiv puisqu'un conduite passe par la Ruthènie subcarpatique .

THE RESOLUTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE «HENOCIDE AND CULTURAL ETHNOCIDE TOWARDS CARPATHIAN RUSINS» (THE END XIX - THE BEGINNING OF XXI CENTURIES)»

The resolution is accepted by the international conference of scientists and representatives of the public of Ukraine, Russia, Serbia, Czechia, Moldova in Rostov-on-Don on December, 19th, 2008.

According to results of work on conference its participants resolve:

1. Rusins of Carpathian Rus were the first ethnic group in history of a XX century (alongside with the Armenian population of Ottoman empire) concerning which the policy of a direct genocide was spent. Active, appreciably organizing role in a genocide towards Rusins the Ukrainian nationalism has played. As the reason for a genocide towards Rusins have served their national consciousness and sympathies to Russia which was at war with Austro-Hungarian empire.

The Rusins’ tragedy still is not estimated to the full by scientific community and wide public circles. The careful attitude to memory of Rusins’ tragedy demands from the scientists of different countries and, first of all, Russia and Ukraine, purposeful laborious work on studying the reasons and scales of this tragedy.

2. The cultural ethnocide policy towards Rusin population in modern Ukraine is followed. It means deprivation of people of its historical name and historical memory, creation of obstacles to development of national culture and to receive education using the native language. Authorities of Ukraine on all extent of existence of the independent Ukrainian state since December, 1991 carry out the policy contradicting the base democratic norms towards Rusins. Especially rigid forms were got by this policy during board of president V. Yushchenko.

3. Carrying out concerning Rusins a policy of violent ukrainization, the Ukrainian authorities consider them as ethnographic group (part) of Ukrainians. Meanwhile itself ethnonime «Rusin» much more ancient than «Ukrainian». Rusins of Carpathian Rus - the autochthonous people of the Central Europe since olden days occupying southern slopes of Carpathians. Ethnically, linguistically, mentally, culturally and religiously Rusins sharply differ from the neighbours – Ukrainians (from Galicia). This fact puts under doubt the official version of the Ukrainian science about Rusins as to ethnographic group of Ukrainians and demands complex scientific studying of Rusin as an ethnic group.

The modern scientific methodology names one of the basic criteria of identification of people its ethnic consciousness (self-identification). Rusins realize itself as separate East Slavic people alongside with Russians, Ukrainians and Byelorussians.

4. Originality of Rusins legislatively recognize all Central European countries in which Rusin communities historically live - Czechia, Slovakia, Serbia, Hungary, etc. In Poland Lemkos are officially recognized as a separate ethnic group, a subethnic group of Rusins.

Rusins are recognized as the separate ethnic group in the international documents. In 2006 the Committee of the United Nations for liquidation of a racial discrimination has expressed concern with a state of affairs with Rusin national minority in Ukraine - « absence of an official recognition of Rusins as the national minority, despite of its obvious ethnic features » and recommended « to consider the problem on a recognition Rusins as a national minority » as there are « essential differences between Rusins and Ukrainians » (Committee of the United Nations for liquidation of a racial discrimination. The Sixty ninth session. On July, 31st - on August, 18th, 2006. Paragraph 20).

5. From the legal point of view status of Zakarpatye (historical area Podkarpatskaya Rus) till now is not certain. The constitution of Ukraine (item 9) gives exhaustive list of international legal norms which constitute a part of the national legislation: " valid international treaties, signed by Ukraine, the consent to which compulsion is been given by the Supreme Soviet of Ukraine ". The contract 1946 " About the Zakarpatye Ukraine " was signed by the USSR, instead of Ukrainian Soviet Republic. Ukraine according to the Law of Ukraine " About succession of Ukraine " is assignee only of those contracts of the USSR, " the consent to which compulsion is given by the Supreme Soviet of Ukraine ". Till now officially published Act of expression by the Supreme Soviet of Ukraine of the consent to compulsion of the international Contract " About the Zakarpatye Ukraine " is not present, and, hence, the specified Contract for Ukraine is void.

6. Ukraine did not implant results of a referendum of 1991 (78 % of the population of the Zakarpatskaya oblast have voted on this referendum for autonomic territory in borders of Ukraine, 90 % - for independence of Ukraine itself). Thereby authorities of Ukraine have broken the basic right of Zakarpatye inhabitants. Proceeding from a political conjuncture, the second part of results of a referendum according to which Ukraine proclaimed itself the independent state at one’s own choosing has been implanted only.

7. Participants of the international conference pay attention of the Ukrainian officials, remedial organizations, to scientific community on inadmissibility of continuation of discrimination policy towards Rusin national minority in Ukraine and express hope, that the international public will render all-round support to lawful and fair requirements of people of Podkarpatskaya Rus.
