<p>There is strong evidence for a renewed autonomy movement in
Transcarpathia with its partly Rusyn population,<br>
at the time of the decay of the Soviet Union in 1990.</p>
<p>The center of this autonomy movement was Uzhgorod / Uzhhorod at
the Slovakian border.<br>
See for example <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://litopys.org.ua/rizne/magocie.htm">https://litopys.org.ua/rizne/magocie.htm</a></p>
<p>While I have not (yet) found direct evidence of an official local
time zone of CET during the period in question, I have found
several quotes<br>
that there exists a tradition for parts of the population to use
'Hungarian time' in the region.</p>
<p><b>This makes Shank's claim again more believable.</b></p>
<p>Once Ukraine stabilized after gaining full independence, it
blocked all such movements in its southwestern province.<br>
