The name "[[Ukraine]]" is of [[Polish]] origin (Pol. ''u kraya'') literally meaning "at the side" or "borderland". No such entity or [[nation state]] is recorded to exist on any map prior to 1904. The ethno-linguistic group commonly referred to as "Ukrainian" largely resided in the Austro-Hungarian province of [[Galicia]], are of [[Russian]] origin, practice the [[Eastern Orthodox]] [[Christian]] faith under the [[Moscow Patriarchate]], and developed their own [[dialect]] of the Russian language as they became detached from the main body of [[Russian Orthodox]] Christendom, living under the domination of the [[Roman Catholic]] [[Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth]] and later the Roman Catholic [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]].
