Galician Russophilia[1] (Ukrainian: Галицьке русофільство, romanized: Halytske rusofilstvo) or Moscophilia (Москвофіли, romanized:Moskvofily) was a cultural and political movement largely in the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, Austria-Hungary (currently western Ukraine). This ideology emphasized that since the Eastern Slavic people of Galicia were descendants of the people of Kievan Rus' (Ruthenians), and followers of Eastern Christianity, they were thus a branch of the Russian people. The movement was part of the larger Pan-Slavism that was developing in the late 19th century. Russophilia was largely a backlash against Polonisation (in Galicia) and Magyarisation (in Carpathian Ruthenia) that was largely blamed on the landlords and associated with Roman Catholicism.
Russophilia has survived longer among the Rusyn minority, especially that in Carpathian Ruthenia and the Lemkos of south-east Poland.[2]
