The current Prime Minister, Mr. M. Dzurinda, attended the Rusyn festival. They were distributed to Rusyn children not only in Slovakia but also in Hungary. Fortunately, Slovaks have been displaying less respect towards Het mans. Slovaks like Rusyns, they are not kozac koho rodu . This is an excellent question but it should be first of all addressed to Ukrainian nationalists.
Problem is how to explain it to the nationalists.
You are absolutely right. I fully agree with you. Just take the recent visit to Poland of young Ukrainian journalists from Kharkiv. The Polish moderator had to explain them the meaning of Ukrainian words and translate it into Russian. Or take the problem with IMF, Lazarenko, Zherdickij, Gongadze, natural gas and oil from Russia, Patriarchat of Moskovy, not speaking about such problems as AIDS, tuberculoses, life expectancy etc.
