Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ... Chapter VIII WHAT OF IT! A lull in immigration.--Russian and Buthenian immigration was practically stopped by the war. On account of the blockade on Russia, and the resulting unsettled conditions, its resumption has been prevented as far as these nations are concerned. This halted immigration is our God-given opportunity to organize our forces to help the vast army of Russians and Ruthenians who, in the years preceding the war, pressed in at such an irresistible pace that the Christian church was overwhelmed. This study has shown our defeat in the past; no one can predict what defeat in the future may mean. The future of the foreign language churches.-- Without incoming immigration, the foreign language churches will pass away. As the children of the Russian and Ruthenian are brought up in American schools, they forget the language of their fathers. Comparatively few of the second generation attend the foreign language churches and almost none of the third generation. Even one of the priests in the Orthodox church told me that if immigration should be stopped for one generation, his church would either have to be closed or readapt its service into the English. It seems probable that the halt in immigration is only the lull in the storm that predicts a still greater intensity. It would not be unlikely if the poverty and misery in Russia and Galicia should drive thousands more to this country. In the meantime our faces should be set to our present task. The church a force in racial assimilation and national unification.--The Uniat and the Greek Orthodox Churches in the past can hardly claim to have been a force in racial assimilation and national unification. Their services have had to be conducted in the Russian language. Their priests...

Book Description
This 2006 book documents developments in the countries of eastern Europe, including the rise of authoritarian tendencies in Russia and Belarus, as well as the victory of the democratic 'Orange Revolution' in Ukraine, and poses important questions about the origins of the East Slavic nations and the essential similarities or differences between their cultures. It traces the origins of the modern Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian nations by focusing on pre-modern forms of group identity among the Eastern Slavs. It also challenges attempts to 'nationalize' the Rus' past on behalf of existing national projects, laying the groundwork for understanding of the pre-modern history of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The book covers the period from the Christianization of Kyivan Rus' in the tenth century to the reign of Peter I and his eighteenth-century successors, by which time the idea of nationalism had begun to influence the thinking of East Slavic elites.

Book Description
With Their Backs to the Mountains is the history of a stateless people, the Carpatho-Rusyns, and their historic homeland, Carpathian Rus?, located in the heart of central Europe. ÿA little over 100,000 Carpatho-Rusyns are registered in official censuses but their number could be as high as 1,000,000, the greater part living in Ukraine and Slovakia. The majority of the diaspora?nearly 600,000?lives in the US. At present, when it is fashionable to speak of nationalities as ?imagined communities? created by intellectuals or elites who may or may not live in the historic homeland, Carpatho-Rusyns provide an ideal example of a people made?or some would say still being made?before our very eyes. The book traces the evolution of Carpathian Rus? from earliest prehistoric times to the present, and the complex manner in which a distinct Carpatho-Rusyn people, since the mid-nineteenth century, came into being, disappeared, and then re-appeared in the wake of the revolutions of 1989 and the collapse of Communist rule in central and eastern Europe. To help guide the reader further there are 39 text inserts, 34 detailed maps, plus an annotated discussion of relevant books, chapters, and journal articles. ÿ
