Malorussia, (Malorussian: Малaруськa, Malaruska), officially the Republic of Malorussia (Malorussian: Респу́блікa Малaруськa, Respúblika Malaruska), or informally, Little Russia. is a country in Eastern Europe.

Etmology

The name Malorussia (Russian: Малоруссия; Malarusian: Малaрусия) is derived from the term "Malaya Rus'", which meant "Little Russia". This asserted that in the case of the Malorussians, they are viewed as variants of the Russian people. Similar case can also be applied with the regions of the Krivian Rus' which can be referred as Byelorussia (Russian: Белороссия; Belarusian: Беларусия, "White Russia") and of the Prichernomorian Rus' as Novorussia (Russian: Новорoссия; Novorussian: Новaро́сія, "New Russia").
