Belarusian Americans
Belarusian Americans, also known as White Russian Americans and White Ruthenian Americans, are Americans who are of total or partial Belarusian ancestry. History There is an assumption that the first Belarusian settlers in the United States, who settled there at the beginning of the 17th century in Virginia, could have been brought as Slavic slaves by Captain John Smith, who visited Belarus in 1603. The first wave of mass emigration from Belarus started in the final decades of the nineteenth century and continued until World War I. They emigrated to the United States via Libava (Liepāja, Latvia) and northern Germany. When they arrived, most settled in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Baltimore. However, most of these first Belarusians were registered either as Russians (those who were Orthodox Christians) or as Poles (Roman Catholics). This was because the first wave of immigrants came before the full development and spread of Belarusian nationalism. Most ethnic Bela ...

Russian Americans
Russian Americans are Americans of full or partial Russians, Russian ancestry. The term can apply to recent Russian diaspora, Russian immigrants to the United States, as well as to those that settled in the 19th-century Russian colonization of North America, Russian possessions in what is now Alaska. Russian Americans comprise the largest Eastern European and East Slavs, East Slavic population in the United States, the second-largest Slavic population after Polish Americans, the nineteenth-largest ancestry group overall, and the eleventh-largest from Europe.

Rusyn Americans
Rusyn Americans (), also known as Carpatho-Rusyn Americans, are Americans with ancestors that were Rusyns, from Carpathian Ruthenia or neighboring areas of Central Europe. However, some Rusyn Americans identify as Ukrainian Americans, Russian Americans, or even Slovak Americans. They are sometimes also referred to as ''Carpatho-Ruthenian Americans'' or ''Carpatho-Russian Americans''; however, terms based on '' Ruthenian'' or '' Russian'' designations are often viewed as imprecise, since they have several wider meanings, related to their diverse historical, religious and ethnic uses and scopes, that were encompassing various East Slavic groups. Since the Revolutions of 1989, there has been a revival in Rusyn nationalism and self-identification in both Carpathian Ruthenia and among the Rusyn diaspora in other parts of Europe and North America. History Rusyns began immigrating to the United States in the late 1870s and in the 1880s. Upon arrival in North America, the vast majorit ...

The East Slavs are the most populous subgroup of the Slavs. They speak the East Slavic languages, and formed the majority of the population of the medieval state Kievan Rus', which they claim as their cultural ancestor.John Channon & Robert Hudson, ''Penguin Historical Atlas of Russia'' (Penguin, 1995), p. 16. Today Belarusians, Russians and Ukrainians are the existent East Slavic nations.
