    I would say this is the best explanation I've heard so far. I am a South Slovene living in Australia.We are also the most friendly and happiest of all the Slavs together with the Serbs and Macedonians and West Ukrainians. but we have more Celtic and Lombard than the Russians and Belarusians for Example.The Czechs are the most miserable Slavs I've come across and the Croats the rudest.Russians are very kind and helpful, are Slav/ Uralic . Finnish are Uralic/Ugric. Also you may not know in the 9th. century Slovaks and Slovenians were the same and Slovaks lived in Lower Austria and Slovenes in the the Danube Basin and Pannonian Plain. Also the West Ukrainians are of lighter complection and not mixed with Turkic peoples and can speak Slovenian. Slovenian is also the oldest West Slavic language spoken today and very similar to Old Russian or Slavonic. Slovenia is in South Central Europe and not the Balkans.

    Can you provide references, so that we can learn more? The naming of the early groups and their association with color according to Chinese cardinal directions doesn't line up with what I have read by Chinese authors, so I think I must be missing something. I would love to learn more about that and the movement and development of those early groups.

      Study the maps of old Kyivan Ruthenian, before Peter the Great stole the name of Ruthenia from the Greek language and renamed Moscovy state to 'Rosiya' Yes, on old Greek maps, Ruthenia is called Rosiya, because of the identity theft!!

    Rosiya is the stolen name of Ruthenian. Under the leadership of people the Great. The Ruthenians of Ukraine could not use a similar name to Russia, so they become Ukraintsi (borderland people) , instead of being called ruthenians. The old maps of Kyivan Ruthenia incorporate large areas of today'' Eastern Slovakia

    This is so fascinating to me. My grandparents came from Zavadka (Spisska Nova Ves) (one of the isolated gray areas in your map) at the turn of the last century. My 89-year-old father was the youngest of 17 kids and the only one who could speak "Slovak." Over the years, I've been told he sounds more Ukrainian, but we could never figure out why. He also understands many of the Ukrainian refugees on the news and understands a lot of Polish. My DNA suggests origins in the Presov and Lemko regions. For the first time, lightbulbs are turning on. I can't wait to share these informative videos with my father. Thank you!

    I forgot to add, Ruthenia in the Greek language equates to a nation called Rosiya (Russia) after the Great Moscovy State was renamed to Russia. Ruthenians in Ukraine, adopted the name of borderland people, Ukraintsi, on the border of the new Russia. As Ruthenian sounded too similar to Russian, the name change to Okraina, which then become Ukraina! But the language (apart from slight regional differences is the same as Ukrainian) Glory to the Old Kyivan Ruthenia. I will add a link to the map of old Ruthenia

    He forgot to mention that Belarus are a mix of rus and Polish tribes with some Baltic’s tribe. Also Slovaks lived in all of modern slovakia in the past of since the early 900 AD. Just in the east near Ukraine that region was a big mixing of some rusyns polish and slovak tribes. In the end though most end up becoming Slovakian as maygars pushed many Slovaks up into the Tátra mountains range of the Carpathian Mountains. Also I hate when they use that old map of rusyn ppl that was shown in the video earlier as it only shows were rusyns lived, but not if they were the majority or not. And it marks some settlement of rusyn minorities in Hungary that had self government in their town. Again the map makes it seems like there was a lot of rusyns in Poland and Slovakia in the past when most of them resigned in what is known today as the Zakarpatskaya oblast of Ukraine. The rusyns living in the Prešov kraj of Slovakia and the Lemko region of Poland where a minority group that were mixed with polish lemko and slovak people. As greater numbers of rusyns were seen as you got closer to modern Zakarpatskaya oblast.

      White Croats were basically a unity of different tribes with similar dialects, which lived both sides of the Carpathians, but there is not much information online tbh. One thing we can say for sure -- modern Croats (from the country called Croatia) are also descendants of those Carpathian people. I can recommend you to check out this video from an actual Croatian historian - Rostislav Anton ua-cam.com/video/W-g1pelyt10/v-deo.html
