=== Carpatho-Russian === From the mid 1800s and well into the mid 1900s, many Catholic and Orthodox Rusyns in Europe and the United States referred to themselves as '''Carpatho-Russians''' or sometimes as Carpathian Russians''.'' This terminology was also popular with some foreign authors and was and is still being used within the Rusyn diaspora. For example, the popular newspaper of the [[Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church|Byzantine (Greek) Catholic Church]] in the U.S. for decades known as the β[https://www.loc.gov/item/sn85054872/ Greek Catholic Union Messenger]β, used the term Carpatho-Russian up until the 1950s (in the 1960s the term Ruthenian briefly came into vogue).<ref name="Warzeski 1971 p248-249" /> As well, the [[American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese]], with as of 2010 over 10,400 members and 79 parishes in the United States and Canada (and founded by former Byzantine Catholic members), still uses the term Carpatho-Russian on a regular basis. Finally, as of the 21st Century, one can often hear Rusyn Americans within the [[Orthodox Church in America|OCA]] and [[Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia|ROCOR]] Orthodox churches self-identify as Carpatho-Russian, and indeed, literature of both these Orthodox bodies commonly uses the terminology Carpatho-Russian to describe Rusyns.{{sfn|Magocsi|Pop|2005|pp=433β434}}{{Efn|Magocsi (2002): "[''Rus'''] was and in some cases still is 'translated' as Russia, with the result that Carpathian Rus' and its Rusyn inhabitants are incorrectly described as Carpatho-Russia and Carpatho-Russians. By contast, Rusyn sources have almost always used the noun Rus' to describe all or part of the Carpathian homeland: ''Karpats'ka Rus', Podkarpats'ka Rus', Priashivs'ka Rus','' or ''Uhors'ka Rus'.''"}}
