"The Great War That Began in American Rus"

By Joel Christopher from the University of Pittsburgh

Mr. Christopher will discuss the way in which turn of the twentieth century transitional migration - including return and cyclical migration among labor migrants between Austria-Hungry and America, who identified variously as "Rusyns," "Russians," and "Ukrainians," contributed to the causes of World War One, especially through their conversion from Greek/Byzantine Catholicism to "Russky" Orthodoxy.
