روسيا الصغيرة Little Russia، أحياناً Little روس (روسية: Малая Русь؛ Malaya Rus'؛ Малая Россия؛ Malaya Rossiya؛ Малороссия؛ Malorossiya؛ أوكرانية: Мала Русь؛ Mala Rus'؛ أو روس الصغرى من باليونانية: Μικρὰ Ῥωσία؛ Mikrá Rosía)، هو مصطلح جغرافي وتاريخي يُستخدم لوصف الأقاليم الحالية بلاروس وأوكرانيا، اِستخدمه لأول مرة الحاكم الگاليسي بولسواف-يوري الثاني، الذي وثـَّع في 1335 مرسومه كـ Dux totius Russiæ minoris.[1]

Little originally meaning the smaller part,[2] with time, "Little Russia" developed into a political and geographical concept in Russia, referring to most of the territory of modern-day Ukraine before the 20th century. Accordingly, derivatives such as "Little Russian" (روسية: Малороссы, Malorossy) were commonly applied to the people, language, and culture of the area. Prior to the revolutionary events of 1917, a large part of the region's élite population adopted a Little Russian identity that competed with the local Ukrainian identity.

بعد انهيار الامبراطورية الروسية في 1917, and with the amalgamation of Ukrainian territories into one administrative unit (the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic), the term started to recede from common use. Its subsequent usage has been regarded as derogatory by Ukrainians.[3] المصطلح هو archaic, and Ukrainians regard its anachronistic usage as offensive.[4]

أصل الاسم

Dialectic partition of the Russian language in 1915 (including Little Russian dialect)

The toponym translates as Little or Lesser Rus’ and is adapted from the Greek term, used in medieval times by Patriarchs of Constantinople since the 14th century (it first appeared in church documents in 1335). The Byzantines called the northern and southern parts of Rus’ lands Μεγάλη Ῥωσσία (Megálē Rhōssía)[5]Greater Rus’) and Μικρὰ Ῥωσσία (Mikrà Rhōssía – Lesser or Little Rus’), respectively. Initially Little or Lesser meant the smaller part,[2] as after the division of the united Rus' Metropolis (ecclesiastical province) into two parts in 1305, a new southwestern metropolis in the Kingdom of Halych-Volynia consisted of only 6 of the 19 former eparchies.[2] It later lost its ecclesiastical associations and became a geographical name only.[2]

In the 17th century, the term Malorossiya was introduced into Russian. In English the term is often translated Little Russia or Little Rus’, depending on context.[6]

Several centuries later, when Moscow became the main colonizing force, Ukrainians were given a label which they were to find insulting. [...] The Russians of Muscovy [...] were the 'Great Russians'. Ukraine was called 'Little Russia', or Malorus. Although the phrase was geographical in origin, it could not help being felt by Ukrainian nationalists as demeaning.
