"Long live Red Terror"--that says it all. Terrible and sad. I have nothing good to say about the communists. Nothing.

I am sure Catholics did not proletise or oppressed the Orthodox at all? I am an Rutherian Catholic and from reading history the reason for this church is purely political.

I can't understand why people associate Ukrainians with the nation of Ukraine that was only created in 1991, of which half speak Russian. My Grammy's and Grandpa Mike's parents were ethnic Ukrainians and if they were born today, not a single one would have been born within national Ukrainian boundaries.

What you say about your grandparents is quite true. A person born at the beginning of the 20th century in western Ukraine who never left his village and lived into his 90's would have been, in the space of his lifetime, a citizen of Austria, Poland, Nazi Germany (during a short time during WWII), the Soviet Union and finally, Ukraine. The fact they still think of themselves as Ukrainians is a testament to their resiliancy and patriotism in the face of immense difficulties and powerful enemies.

Yes, they were very proud to be Ukrainians. As I understand it, Ukrainians from the Hapsburg Empire were actually four different sub-groups: Lemko, Rusyn, Hutsul and Boyko, collectively known as Ruthenians to Vienna, which, I think, is a much more accurate term for my father's people. Not only did they take great pride in being Ukrainian, but they were very devout Catholics as well, in the Greek Rite. My Grandpa Mike was so devoted to the UGCC, he was actually honored with Papal Knighthood.

@TenderTrap86 What did your grandpa do to become an papal knight?
