Ruthenians
Ruthenians is the historical name for the East Slavic peoples of the former lands of Kievan Rus', used especially for the ancestors of Ukrainians and Rusyns living in the Kingdom of Hungary, Poland-Lithuania and later the Habsburg monarchy. In Hungary they lived mainly in the north-eastern Carpathians, and in Austrian Galicia they formed a large, mostly Greek Catholic peasant population.
