Hey Andy, Where’s Ruthenia?

I love the Twentieth Century.  Not only were we all famous for 15 minutes, a whole nation could exist for only a day.

Case in point:  Ruthenia, which shone gloriously free on March 15th, 1939, the day after the Nazis left and the day before the Soviets rushed in.  How does Mr. Warhol fit into this?  He was the son of two Ruthene immigrants to the New World.  Though born in Pittsburgh, he is the one-and-only famous son of the Sub-Carpathians.

Despite the Man with the Can, the Ruthenians are currently without a plan.  And that seems to be just fine by them.
