To sum up, it can be stated that the ethnic group called Rusins settled down continuously in the territory of the present Transcarpathia from the 6th century. There were interruptions in the process and the amount of them changed several times. Apparently, they didn't belong to the Eastern Slavs. This process was accelerated from the 14th century but from this time we have to speak about the Eastern Slavs.
