Magyaron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Magyaron, also Magyarons[1][2][3] (Ukrainian: Мадярони, Belarusian: Мадзяроны,[4] Slovak: Maďarón, Russian: Мадяроны,[5] Rusyn: Мадяроны,[6] Polish: Madziaroni[7][8]), is the name of a Transcarpathian ethno-cultural group,[9][10] which has an openly Hungarian orientation.[11] They renounced their native language, culture and religion and promoted Magyarization of the Rusyn and Ukrainian population.[12] The Magyarons did not embrace the Ukrainian identity of the Ruthenians in Carpathian Ruthenia but maintained their separate Rusyn identity. From 1920 to 1940, the group promoted the idea of rejoining Subcarpathian Rus' to Hungary.[13][14]
