p:abstract
  • Gregory Zatkovich was an American lawyer and political activist for Rusyns in the United States and Europe. He was the first governor of Carpathian Ruthenia, the Rusyn autonomous province of Czechoslovakia.He was born in the village of Holuybne, Bereg County, Austria-Hungary and emigrated to Pennsylvania with his parents at age five. He graduated from high school in Pittsburgh, earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1907, and his LL.D. from the law school at Penn in 1910. His father, Paul Zatkovich, was the founding editor of the leading Rusyn-American newspaper, Amerikansky Russky Viestnik. This influence drew him into a spokesman role in 1918 for the American National Council of Uhro-Rusyns, and he worked with Woodrow Wilson and Tomas Masaryk in creating a place for Rusyns in the new state of Czechoslovakia.He died in Pittsburgh in 1967; he is interred in Calvary Cemetery in the city's Greenfield and Hazelwood neighborhoods.
