Various Ukrainian sub-groups
Other sub-groups of Ukrainians include the Batyuks , Bukovinians, Dolynians , Opolyans , Podolyans, Pokuttians , Siverians, Slobozhans , and Volhynians. Outside of Ukraine, the Rusyns are often recognized as a separate nationality. The 2001 Ukrainian census listed seven sub-ethnic groups of Ukrainians: Boykos, Hutsuls, Lemkos, Litvins, Polishchuks, Rusyns, and Pinchuks , with nobody identifying as the latter at the time of the census. It describes the historical context in which minority groups in Ukraine were formed, as well as the main language identity issues that Ukraine had to face before and after 1991. This note provides country of origin information (COI) and analysis of COI for use by Home Office decision makers handling particular types of protection and human rights claims (as set out in the basis of claim section).
