摘要

Like many other peoples in East-Central Europe, the Ukrainians experienced a national revival in the course of the 19th century. Split between two great empires, the Ukrainians—defined either as the ‘Little Russians’ (malorosy) in imperial Russia, the ‘Ruthenians’ (rusyny in Austria, or ‘Rusnaky’ in Hungary)—did not have political autonomy and remained divided between the administrative units of these competing empires. Most Ukrainians lived within the Russian imperial borders, organized administratively into nine provinces: Chernihiv, Katerynoslav, Kharkiv, Kherson, Kyiv, Podolia, Poltava, Taurida, and the eastern part of Volhynia, colloquially referred to as South Russia or Little Russia. Austria-Hungary controlled Galicia and Bukovina, Subcarpathian Rus’ (Ruthenia), and the western part of Volhynia.1
