With Their Backs to the Mountains by Paul Robert Magocsi, professor of history and political science, chair of Ukrainian Studies at the University of Toronto, is the history of a stateless people, the Carpatho-Rusyns, and their historic homeland, Carpathian Rus’, located in the heart of central Europe. A little over 100,000 Carpatho-Rusyns are registered in official censuses but their number could be as high as 1,000,000, the greater part living in Ukraine and Slovakia. The majority of the diaspora—nearly 600,000—lives in the US.

It took a long time before these protests generated any response.
