Eugeniusz Tinz, Polish-Belarussian general and leader of the "Foreign Clique" in Belarus. The Foreign Clique was a faction of Polish and Russian generals and politicians in the Republic of Belarus that advocated for the restoration of the legitimate heir to the Russian throne Prince Vladimir Kirillovic, not the Russian throne in Petroburg, but rather on a new throne and in a new monarchy in Belarus that Tinz planned to name the Ruthenia Empire, harkening back to the days of the Belarus of the Middle Ages and the Kievan Rus. Tinz was also the main ideologue of the Ruthenian Movement, which claimed that Belarus should be the center of a new Ruthenian Empire made up five races, Ruthenians or Belarusians, Muscovites or Russians, Poles (of which a substantial amount lived within Belarus), AshkenaziJews and Tartars, that would revive the traditions of the Medival Eastern Slavic peoples. It should be noted Tinz had no interest in adding Ukraine to the Ruthenian Empire, seeing the Ukrainians as a Cossack people seperate from the "Ruthenian peoples."
