Summary/Abstract: The history of Transcarpathian lands unfolded within the framework of three state entities, during which the Ukrainian language and Ukrainian identity crystallized in the struggle against Russophile and Ruthenian tendencies, each holding sway at different periods in history. Following the dissolution of Austria-Hungary and after nearly a millennium of being part of non-Slavic state formations (from 906 to 1918), our lands, due to historical circumstances, became a separate region within the First Czechoslovak Republic (until 1939). The incorporation of Transcarpathia into Czechoslovakia marked a positive change in all aspects of life, particularly in shaping the national-political consciousness, national identity of Transcarpathian Ukrainians, and their political and cultural realization.
