A century ago, political decisions not only created the state of the Czechoslovak Republic, an administrative unit lacking historical background, but also the Hungarian national minority of Transcarpathia. During the 20th century, historical storms swept through what is now known as Transcarpathia: after the Hungarian Kingdom and within the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, it belonged to Czechoslovakia, and during a transitional period, a part of its territory formed a short-lived state (Carpatho-Ukraine); for a short time it returned to the Kingdom of Hungary; it was annexed to the Soviet Union after another transitional period (Transcarpathian Ukraine); In 1991, it was inherited by Ukraine, which became independent at the time (Table 1). 5 Table 1.

The decrease in the number and proportion of Hungarians is significant and shows a correlation with the changes in states (Figures 1 and 2). Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the first (and still only) census in the independent Ukraine was organized in 2001. The majority of the country's population was Ukrainian (77.8%). The largest national minority was Russian (17.3%). The proportion of other minority communities did not reach 1%. In 2001, 156,566 people declared themselves to be of Hungarian nationality (0.3%), while the number of Hungarian native speakers was 161,618 (Figure 3). 96.8% of Hungarians living in Ukraine and 98.2% of people with Hungarian as a native language lived in one region: Transcarpathia. In this region, following Ukrainians (80.5%), Hungarians were the largest community (12.1%). The number of Hungarian native speakers was 158,729, which was 12.7% in 2001. The number of Hungarian native speakers exceeded the number of Hungarians by 7,123. Most Hungarians in Transcarpathia (62%) still live in settlements where Hungarians make up an absolute majority (Figures 4 and 5). 7 Figure 1.

Native-language composition of the population in Transcarpathia by settlement in 2001 12 Education Hungarian-language medium education has a long tradition in today's Transcarpathia: schools with Hungarian as the language of instruction operated here even when the region belonged to Czechoslovakia or the Soviet Union. Independent Ukraine also made it possible for the Hungarian-language medium education system to function and even to develop (Figure 6). During the academic year 2019/2020, nearly 16,000 children studied in Hungarian in 97 schools (mostly with Hungarian as the language of instruction) in Transcarpathia. However, not all Hungarians (are able to) learn in their mother tongue. The higher the level of the education, the more Hungarian children and younsters study in the official language of the state (Figure 7). Most of these learners chose to study in the state language at their own discretion; however, there are also some who are forced (because there is no Hungarian kindergarten or school available in their settlement or near their place of residence). As the language of higher education in the Soviet Union was Russian, Slavic speakers were in a better position. It is clear from the data of the 2001 census that the proportion of Russian-speaking graduates in Ukraine was the highest, and the lowest among non-Slavic (Moldavian, Hungarian, Romanian) speakers (Figure 8). 13 14 2020 and 1987 between in Transcarpathia schools of Hungarian Figure 6. 2 000 2 400 2 600 2 200 1 000 1 800 1 400 1 600 1 200 1 1 586 1987/88 The number The of number pupils in schools Hungarian and the number of children enrolled in the first grade 1 1 622 1988/89 1 913 1 913 1989/90 17 275 2 147 147 2 1990/91 17 619 2 160 160 2 1991/92 17 969 2 311 311 2 1992/93 18 711 2 442 442 2 1993/94 19 074 2 440 440 2 1994/95 19 642 2 370 370 2 1995/96 20 044 2 365 365 2 1996/97 20 727 Hungarian1stgraders 2 148 148 2 1997/98 21 159 2 203 203 2 1998/99 21 431 2 069 069 2 1999/2000 21 034 1 939 1 939 2000/’01 20 900 1 1 922 2001/’02 20 900 1 934 1 934 2002/’03 20 900 1 693 1 693 2003/’04 20 200 1 1 777 2004/’05 19 600 2 069 069 2 allstudents studyingHungarian 2005/’06 18 948 1 1 647 2006/’07 18 136 1 499 1 499 2007/’08 17 366 1 446 1 446 2008/’09 16 407 1 1 321 2009/’10 15 596 1 385 1 385 2010/’11 15 277 1 1 429 2011/’12 15 970 1 511 1 511 2012/’13 16 339 1 1 569 2013/’14 15 092 1 606 1 606 2014/’15 15 092 1 831 1 831 2015/’16 15 734 1 1 950 2016/’17 1 1 928 2017/’18 2 007 007 2 2018/’19 17 030 2 088 088 2 2019/’20 17 445 0 5000 10000 15000 20000 25000 Figure 7.

    The History of the Slovak-Hungarian “Little War” and Its Interpretations in National Histories

    The History of the Slovak-Hungarian “Little War” and Its Interpretations in National Histories István Janek Before tackling the events of the “Little War”, let us take a brief outlook on the study of it in Hungarian and Slovak historical literature. A great number of Slovak histori- ans have written on this issue producing many articles and conference publications in Slovakia. Here I would like to highlight the most important ones from four his- OPEN ACCESS torians: Ladislav Deák, František Cséfalvay, Zoltán Katreba and Ján Petrik. A lot has been written on the air warfare between the two armies as well: Juraj Rejninec and Ján Petrik from Slovakia and Iván Pataky, László Rozsos together with Gyula Sárhidai and Csaba B. Stenge from Hungary must be mentioned.1 A thorough study of the dip- lomatic aspect has been done only by István Janek in Hungary.2 Ján Petrik has worked at the local history level and he also published a short but detailed monograph on the Hungarian bombing of Spiška Nová Ves.3 Cséfalvay and Katreba are military histori- ans who work for the Slovak Institution of Military History. They focus on the mili- tary events and publish in various Slovakian historical periodicals.4 Cséfalvay has also shown the political connections of military events.5 It is the merit of the works 1 J.

    24 Carpathian Rus ' INTERETHNIC COEXISTENCE WITHOUT VIOLENCE P R M!" e phenomenon of borderlands together with the somewhat related concept of marginal- ity are topics that in recent years have become quite popular as subjects of research among humanists and social scientists. At a recent scholarly conference in the United States I was asked to provide the opening remarks for an international project concerned with “exploring the origins and manifestations of ethnic (and related forms of religious and social) violence in the borderland regions of east-central, eastern, and southeastern Europe.” 1 I felt obliged to begin with an apologetic explanation because, while the territory I was asked to speak about is certainly a borderland in the time frame under consideration—1848 to the present—it has been remarkably free of ethnic, religious, and social violence. Has there never been contro- versy in this borderland territory that was provoked by ethnic, religious, and social factors? Yes, there has been. But have these factors led to interethnic violence? e answer is no. e territory in question is Carpathian Rus ', which, as will become clear, is a land of multiple borders. Carpathian Rus ' is not, however, located in an isolated peripheral region; rather, it is located in the center of the European continent as calculated by geographers in- terested in such questions during the second half of the nineteenth century. 2 What, then, is Carpathian Rus ' and where is it located specically? Since it is not, and has never been, an independent state or even an administrative entity, one will be hard pressed to nd Carpathian Rus ' on maps of Europe.

    UKRAINE the Constitution and Other Laws and Policies Protect Religious

    UKRAINE The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom and, in practice, the government generally enforced these protections. The government generally respected religious freedom in law and in practice. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom by the government during the reporting period. Local officials at times took sides in disputes between religious organizations, and property restitution problems remained; however, the government continued to facilitate the return of some communal properties. There were reports of societal abuses and discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. These included cases of anti-Semitism and anti- Muslim discrimination as well as discrimination against different Christian denominations in different parts of the country and vandalism of religious property. Various religious organizations continued their work to draw the government's attention to their issues, resolve differences between various denominations, and discuss relevant legislation. The U.S. government discusses religious freedom with the government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. U.S. embassy representatives raised these concerns with government officials and promoted ethnic and religious tolerance through public outreach events. Section I. Religious Demography The country has an area of 233,000 square miles and a population of 45.4 million. The government estimates that there are 33,000 religious organizations representing 55 denominations in the country. According to official government sources, Orthodox Christian organizations make up 52 percent of the country's religious groups. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate (abbreviated as UOC-MP) is the largest group, with significant presence in all regions of the country except for the Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Ternopil oblasts (regions).

    Assistance to Undocumented Migrants.DOC

    UKRAINE: Assistance to Undocumented Migrants Project summary: 2004 was an historic year for Ukraine, as it saw the beginning of a new phase in its geopolitical significance. For the first time, a non-Russian member of the ex-Soviet Union has a border with the European Union (EU). Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) wishes to step up its activities in favour of undocumented and other migrants who already use Ukraine as a transit point – now they will be able to enter the EU directly from Ukrainian soil. The State Committee of Ukraine for Nationalities and Migration has predicted that EU expansion will lead to a 17% rise in the number of undocumented migrants entering Ukraine. According to the Ministry of Interior, about 50,000 illegal migrants from more than 45 countries are currently living in Ukraine. They come from China, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Somalia, as well as other former Soviet states in the Caucasus and Central Asia, as well as from conflict zones like Chechnya. In 2003, over 4,000 undocumented migrants were apprehended by Ukrainian border guards, including 2,253 who tried to cross the borders in Zakarpattya and Lviv oblasts. Most of these people ended up in detention camps. At the moment there are three such camps in Zakarpattya, in the towns of Mukachevo, Pavshyno, and Chop. According to Ukrainian law, people arrested at the border must stay in camps until they are identified and finally deported, which can sometimes take up to two months. Initially the camps were not intended to host large numbers of people; therefore, they are constantly overcrowded, especially in spring and summer.

    APPLICATION of the CHARTER in UKRAINE 2Nd Monitoring Cycle A

    Strasbourg, 15 January 2014 ECRML (2014) 3 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES APPLICATION OF THE CHARTER IN UKRAINE 2nd monitoring cycle A. Report of the Committee of Experts on the Charter B. Recommendation of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on the application of the Charter by Ukraine The European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages provides for a control mechanism to evaluate how the Charter is applied in a State Party with a view to, where necessary, making recommendations for improving its language legislation, policy and practices. The central element of this procedure is the Committee of Experts, set up under Article 17 of the Charter. Its principal purpose is to report to the Committee of Ministers on its evaluation of compliance by a Party with its undertakings, to examine the real situation of regional or minority languages in the State and, where appropriate, to encourage the Party to gradually reach a higher level of commitment. To facilitate this task, the Committee of Ministers adopted, in accordance with Article 15, paragraph1, an outline for periodical reports that a Party is required to submit to the Secretary General. The report should be made public by the State. This outline requires the State to give an account of the concrete application of the Charter, the general policy for the languages protected under Part II and, in more precise terms, all measures that have been taken in application of the provisions chosen for each language protected under Part III of the Charter. The Committee of Experts’ first task is therefore to examine the information contained in the periodical report for all the relevant regional or minority languages on the territory of the State concerned.
