Os termos rutenos e russianos (em ucraniano: Русини, Руські, "Rus") são carregados de significado cultural, e assume diferentes significados de acordo com o contexto em que são utilizados. Inicialmente era o etnônimo utilizado para se referir aos povos eslavos orientais. Posteriormente, passou a ser utilizado predominantemente para se referir aos ucranianos, porém com o surgimento do nacionalismo ucraniano, em meados do século XIX, o termo deixou de ser utilizado nas regiões centrais e orientais da Ucrânia, continuando até os dias de hoje a ser usado no oeste do país, especialmente na Rutênia Cárpata, e em territórios habitados por ucranianos fora do país (ver russinos).
