Produce a POD witch does not divide the Ukrainian (and Rusyn)-speaking parts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (East Galicia, Bukovina, Transcarpathia) between new Polish and Czechoslovak states and Romania and Hungary. Keep them united in a new nation-sate, possibly called Ruthenia. You could start from a different end to the war, simply a different aftermath, or avoid the war and have A-H break up later.
Discuss the foreign policy relationship this Ruthenian state has with Poland and the USSR (if they still exist), Germany, other East-Central European states, and the West. What is it's fate in any possible WWII? Does this independent state operating to the west help or hinder national sentiment in the larger Russian-controlled Ukraine?
