Everything about Avhustyn Voloshyn totally explained
Avhustyn Ivanovych Voloshyn (
1874–
1945) was a
Subcarpathian politician,
teacher, and
essayist. He was president of the independent
Carpatho-Ukraine, which existed for a few days in 1939.
Voloshyn was born in
March 17,
1874 in
Kelesin, Transcarpathia (province of
Austro-Hungary). He studied at
Uzhhorod School of Theology and at
Budapest University. He became a
Greek Catholic priest, from 1924 a Papal chamberer. He was professor of mathematics at Uzhhorod Teacher Institute from 1900 to 1917. In 1918, he became head of the Subcarpathian National Council, which in 1919 asked
Czechoslovakia to confederate Transcarpathia into Czechoslovakia. This was realised in Autumn 1919. In 1925, he was voted as MP in Houses of Parliament in
Prague (as a leader of Ruthenian National Christian Party). In October 1938, he was the head of the
Subcarpathian Autonomous Region. During the total destruction of Czechoslovakia by
Hitler's
Germany, he tried to preserve
Carpatho-Ukraine independence and became president of Carpatho-Ukraine for a few days (
March 14,
1939) with the help of the rest of the Czechoslovakian army, which was fighting against the Hungarians, allies of Hitler. On
March 19, 1939, the last Czechoslovakian troops retreated to the
Romanian Kingdom's border, which was Czechoslovakia's ally. Subcarpathia was occupied by
Hungary.
Voloshyn fled to
Prague, where he lived as a private person. In March 1945, the
Soviet Red Army took Transcarpathia, and annexed it into the
Soviet Ukraine. The government of Czechoslovakia agreed to cede the territory. The Transcarpathians became Soviet citizens, and many were arrested and sent into
contentration camps and in the
USSR. Private property in Transcarpathia was confiscated and the land
collectivised.
When Soviet troops took
Prague in May
1945, Avhustyn Voloshyn was arrested by the
KGB and taken to
Moscow. He died in July
1945 in the
Butyrka prison of
Moscow.
