“We, the Galician Ruthenians, belong to a large Ruthenian people who speak the same language and number 15 million, of whom two and a half million live in the Galician land.”

And here is another quote from the same newspaper: “The Great Russians (Russen) are our tribesmen. The same Slavic blood flows in our veins and theirs, a common fate from the past, a related language, customs, etc. make the Great Russian brothers valuable and dear to our hearts.”
