GEOPOLITICAL POSITION ANALYSIS OF TRANSCARPATHIA WITH EMPHASIS ON PERIOD BETWEEN 1918-1939

Summary/Abstract: Transcarpathia as a part of the Soviet Union lost its specific position. The Ukraine cultural influence and Rusyn specifics were in favour in the county, but they were pressed back. After the release of the totalitarian regime in the Soviet Union at the turn of the 80s and 90s there was an activation of several political groups, requiring the change of the area status. The initiative for the dissolution of a contract about the connection to the Soviet Union came into existence. The other group supported Transcarpathia's taking control over the Ukraine´s autonomy of the area. In December 1991, the referendum took place on the territory of Transcarpathia. A majority of voters expressed for reinforcement of the local autonomy. Part of the participants voted for separation from the Soviet Union(members of the Hungarian minority, respectively Rusyn Revival supporters).
