Вот так новость! А меня тем летом четверо русин убеждали, что Закарпатье - цитадель Православия, где на каждом пригорке по православному монастырю. И про быт свой рассказывали, у них даже колядки сохранились. И без всякой унии. Более того, эти ребята и сами живут по православному, в каждом поступке это проявляется. Такое только с воспитанием даётся. Нам, совкам, это в диковинку.
Западенцы их не любят, и русины западенцев не жалуют. А настроения у них действительно пророссийские, чётко и однозначно.
1) в Закарпатье не так уж много русинов и осталось...основная масса русинов разбрелась по свету...прежде всего в США, Канаде и по Восточной Европе
2) что касается религии то там разброс очень большой и православные, и католики, и протестанты, и прочие...вот тут можно об этом почитать (сразу извиняюсь за ссылку на английском):
ReligionThe question of when the Rusyns adopted Christianity (and who or what they worshipped before) is a source of some debate, but it clearly occurred prior to the Great Schism between the Orthodox and Catholic churches in 1054. Many Rusyn churches are named after the Eastern Christian saints Cyril and Methodius, who are often referred to as the "Apostles to the Slavs."
In 1994 the historian Paul Robert Magocsi stated that there were approximately 690,000 Carpatho-Rusyn church members in the United States, with 320,000 belonging to the largest Byzantine Rite Catholic affiliations, 270,000 to the largest Orthodox affiliations, and 100,000 to various Protestant and other denominations.
Eastern Catholics
Most Rusyns are Byzantine rite Catholics, who since the Union of Brest in 1596 and the Union of Uzhhorod in 1646 have been united with the Roman Catholic Church under the spiritual leadership of the Pope. However, they have their own particular Church, the Ruthenian Catholic Church, and retain the Byzantine Rite liturgy in Old Slavonic and most of the outward forms of Byzantine or Eastern Christianity.
The Rusyns of the former Yugoslavia are organized under the Eparchy of Krizevci. Those in the diaspora in the United States established the Byzantine Catholic Metropolitan Church of Pittsburgh.
According to Andy Warhol, a Rusyn, the beginning of the film The Deer Hunter shows a Rusyn wedding.
Eastern Orthodox Church
Although originally associated with the Orthodox Church of Constantinople, the affiliation of the Rusyn Orthodox Church was adversely affected by the Communist revolution in the Russian Empire and the subsequent Iron Curtain which split the Orthodox diaspora from the Orthodox believers living in the ancestral homelands. A number of émigré communities have claimed to continue the Orthodox tradition of the pre-revolution church while either denying or minimizing the validity of the church organization operating under Communist authority. For example, the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) was granted autocephalous (self-governing) status by the Moscow Patriarchate in 1970. Although approximately 25% of the OCA was Rusyn (referred to as "Ruthenian") in the early 1980s, an influx of Orthodox émigrés from other nations and new converts wanting to connect with the "early" church have lessened the impact of a particular Rusyn emphasis in favor of a new American Orthodoxy.
