The Corporation was founded in Riga by the Russian students of the Latvian University in 1929 as a result of the split in the Corp Fraternitas Arctica. In 1940 «Ruthenia», as all the rest public organizations, was closed. During the years of German occupation some life started again in the Corporation. In 1944 a prominent number of the members decided to emigrate to the West. Being abroad in the foreign land, they very fast restored their lost ties, the Corporation was reborn and existed till 1998.
