''The focus of this article is part of a general political movement in Western Ukraine of the 19th and early 20th century. The movement contained several competing branches: Moscowphiles, Ukrainophiles, Rusynphiles, and others.''
Western Ukrainian Russophiles (Ukrainian: Pусофіли, москвофіли, ''Rusofily'') were participants in a cultural and political movement largely in the Western Ukraine. This ideology emphasized that since the people of Galicia were descendents of the people of Kievan Rus' (Ruthenians), and followers of Eastern Christianity, that they were thus a branch of the Russian people. The movement was part of the whole Pan-Slavism that was developing in the late 19th century. Russophilia was largely a reaction against Polish (in Galicia) and Hungarian (in Carpathian Ruthenia) cultural suppression that was largely associated with Roman Catholicism. Russophilia has survived longer among the Carpathian Rusyns and among the Lemkos in modern Poland, as well as in other Western Ukrainian regions such as parts of Bukovina. ==Terminology== The "Russophiles" did not apply the term to themselves, and called themselves Rus()ians or Ruthenians (''Rusyny''). Some Russophiles coined such terms as ''Obshche-rossy'' (Common Russians) or ''Starorusyny'' (Old Ruthenians) to stress either the differences within their faction, referring to commonness with all Russians, or their unique stand within the whole of the Russian nation. The ethnonym ''Ruthenians'' for Ukrainian people had been accepted by both the Russophiles and the Moscowphiles for quite a long period of time. The new name ''Ukrainians'' began to be accepted by the Ruthenian Galicians (as opposed to Polonian Galicians) around the 1890s, under the influence of Mykola Kostomarov and the Brotherhood of Saints Cyril and Methodius in central Ukraine.〔Magocsi 1996, p 440.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Western Ukrainian Russophiles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
