Starik Pollock, the author of Sovereignty and Between Morality and Greatness, returns with another work on the subject of Rusyn intellectual development. Instead of commenting on why the creation of a national vision should occur like before, Starik went further and outlined a possible next decade of progress. To this end, he has also helped to crystalize a definition of who the Rusyn people are and what their interests could be in the form of a Carpathian Rusyn nation. This attempt at creating a monumental step forward is nothing like what has been seen before in the Rusyn world and it is needed now more than ever.

Six major goals are laid out that aim to cover the domains of politics, culture, and national viability. They are as follows:

  • Official recognition of Rusyns and the Rusyn language as a unique ethnicity and language in Ukraine.
  • The implementation of the 1991 autonomy vote and the renaming of Zakarpattia Oblast to the Autonomous Region of Podkarpatska Rus.
  • The implementation of Rusyn language education in primary and secondary education (from ages 5 to 18) in all regions of Carpathian Rus and the diaspora.
  • The creation of Rusyn minority ethnic parties in Slovakia, Poland, and Ukraine to vouch for the interests of their respective populations.
  • Double the population of self-identifying Rusyns in the diaspora and increase the self-identifying Rusyn population in Europe excluding Subcarpathia by at least 50%.
  • Official recognition of the Lemko Ethnocide by the Polish government and the repopulation of Lemkovyna through cooperation with the state and international Rusyn organizations.

How and why these goals should be achieved is further analyzed throughout the following chapters in a way that is both accessible to the average reader while also striving to give a deeper context. Those that purchase this book will not only begin to see a path forward but also start to understand how to get there.

Sovereignty is a collection of the previous short works Наша візия, Duty and Sovereignty, and A Critique of Western Influence with some newly created content. Replacing previous introductions, this unified version has a new and exclusive preface explaining the book and its history in more detail. In addition, numerous grammatical, spelling, and formatting issues have been fixed to help make readers more engaged.

Like a movie, these books are the three acts that make up the narrative of Sovereignty. Наша візия acts as a call for the need to create a vision for the Rusyn people. Duty and Sovereignty tells us why we must uphold this vision at all costs. Finally, A Critique of Western Influence attempts to tell us what will happen should we not do so and what dangers are ahead. While there is still plenty of work left before a vision for Carpathian Rus can be achieved, there is no better road to start walking towards it than by reading this book.
