Carpathian Ruthenia rests on the southern slopes of the Eastern Carpathian Mountains, bordered to the east by the Tisza River, and to the west by the Hornád and Poprad Rivers, and makes up part of the Pannonian Plain. It is inhabited mainly by Ruthenian-speakers (Carpatho-Rusyns, Lemkos, Boykos and Hutsuls), but there is also significant Hungarian, Romanian and, since 1946, Ukrainian and Russian minorities. More about Carpathian Ruthenia ... edit   Selected article Uzhhorod is a city located in western Ukraine, at the border with Slovakia and near the border with Hungary. It is the administrative center of the Zakarpattia Oblast (province), as well as the administrative center of the surrounding Uzhhorodskyi Raion (district) within the oblast. The city itself is also designated as its own separate raion within the oblast. The city gets its name from the Uzh River, which divides the city into two halves (the old and new sections). Uzh (Уж) means eel, and horod (город) is Ruthenian for city, coming from Old Slavonic grad (градъ). The city is spelled Ужгород in both Ukrainian and Russian, transliterated "Uzhhorod" from Ukrainian, "Uzhgorod" from Russian. Consequently, the city was widely known in English language contexts as Uzhgorod during the Soviet era. Uzhhorod is located at 48°37′N 22°18′E / 48.617°N 22.3°E / 48.617; 22.3. Its population in 2004 was 111,300.
