XL Report: The Rusyns
Today, the political situation in Ukraine, the former Soviet republic, is unstable. Political parties argue over who should rule the country. The people also cant understand which part to take. But do you know that in Carpathian Ukraine live people who have other problems? They have no land of their own, but they have their national attributes - a flag, an emblem and an anthem. Their language is believed to be dead, but they speak and write poetry in it. They call themselves the Rusyns. This small ethnic group want their voice to be heard and recognized. Find out more about these people on RT.

Sága krásy - Lemkos - Rusíni. Wedding song. Eastern Slovakia. Slovak folklore.
Sings Maria Macoskova. Archival record. Lemkos - one of several quantitatively and territorially small nationalities who also traditionally call themselves Rusyns (Ukrainian: Руснаки, Lemko: Руснакы, Rusnaky; sing. Руснак, Rusnak),are one of the four major groups inhabiting the Eastern Carpathian Mountains. Their language has been variously described as a Lemko language in its own right (literary Lemko language is one of the four literary norms of the Carpatho-Rusyn language), a dialect of the Rusyn language (a group of dialects which is, itself, sometimes described as a distinct dialect of the Ukrainian or Slovak dialect group). In any case, the Lemko tongue and the Ukrainian language are akin but not always mutually intelligible (ref: Best and Moklak)The Lemkos' homeland is commonly referred to as Lemkivshchyna (Ukrainian: Лeмкiвщина, Lemko: Lemkovyna (Лeмкoвина), Polish: Łemkowszczyzna). Up until 1945, this included the area from the Poprad River in the east to the valley of Oslawa River in the west, areas situated primarily in present-day Poland, in the Lesser Poland and Subcarpathian Voivodeships. This part of the Carpathian mountains is mostly deforested, which allowed for an agrarian economy, alongside such traditional occupations as ox grazing and sheep herding. This area was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until its dissolution in 1918, at which point the Lemko-Rusyn Republic (Ruska Lemkivska) declared its independence. Independence did not last long however <b>...</b>

Rewe Ta Stohne - Lemko-Rusyn-Ukrainian song - played by accordiona
Rewe Ta Stohne - Lemko-Rusyn-Ukrainian song. Lorna Pollock, accordion. Roland set: Folk F #17 Bass: 16'8'4'2' Treble: Violin, Mandolin and Pan Flutes A friend, eldubioso, kindly shared that the song can be classified as Ukrainian, as the Lemko people are a sub-ethnic group that identify themselves as Ukrainian as well. The song title translates as "the Dnipro River moans and groans" . And from my friend pivhucul: This song is written to the poem of Ukrainian poet, Taras Shevchenko. A Google translation: Dnieper roars and moans wide An angry wind declared, Down willow and high Wave lift up the mountains. Down willow and high Wave lift up the mountains. This tune is from the song book, Piosenki Lemkowski I Ukrainskie from maluch.elka.pw.edu.pl For more information on Lemkos visit: www.lemko.org My friend Markku, makentv, sent me this link of Finnish singer Markus Allan singing the first tune, Laulu Dnjeprille. He sings with great feeling. I enjoyed it very much and hope you will, too! www.youtube.com And 4 men singing it beautifully www.youtube.com And a wonderful choral group: www.youtube.com I am part Lemko-Rusyn and I am very happy to be playing this folk music.

HALLELUJAH FOR OSADNE
Another creation to honor the Osadne Movie. This time "pop-centric". Just for your understanding "pop" means "priest" in rusyn language. :) Nothing here belongs to me personally, movie OSADNE is Mr. Škop´s creation, "Hallelujah" belongs to its autor and the performance to its perfomant. But if you like to comment, please, do.

Slavic Countries
The Slavic languages (also called Slavonic languages), a group of closely related languages of the Slavic peoples and a subgroup of Indo-European languages, have speakers in most of Eastern Europe, in much of the Balkans, in parts of Central Europe, and in the northern part of Asia. Scholars divide the Slavic languages into three main branches, some of which feature sub-branches: *East Slavic, including Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Rusyn *West Slavic, including Czech, Slovak, Polish, Sorbian, Kashubian. *South Slavic, including Slovenian, Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Macedonian.

Sága krásy - Lemkos. Eastern Slovakia. Rusínska pesnička.
Archival record. Hist.photo. Sings Maria Macoskova. Lemkos - Rusyns (sometimes spelled Rusins, or called Carpatho-Rusyns signifying their villages being in the Carpathian Mountains) are one of the many nationalities/ethnic groups of Slovakia, along with Slovaks, Hungarians, Germans, and Romanies (Gypsies). Rusyns are eastern Slavs, which means that their history, culture, and language are rooted in the medieval Kievan Rus' kingdom (Slovaks, by contrast, are western Slavs), although Slovaks and Rusyns have lived together on the same territory for nearly 1000 years (and share some cultural traits). Traditionally, almost all Rusyns belong to the Byzantine/Greek Catholic or Orthodox Christian churches. Rusyns have never had their own country, but their homeland today lies in 3 countries: Slovakia, Ukraine (the Transcarpathian Oblast, former Subcarpathian Rus/Ruthenia, part of Czecho-Slovakia from 1919 until 1939), and Poland (the Lemko Region, formerly part of Galicia). There are approximately 1.5 million Rusyns in Europe today, and about 120000 of them are in Slovakia.

Sága krásy - Oj chto to chodyt po hrobi. Kto to chodí po hrobe. Rusínska balada.Slovak folklore.
Rusyns also Lemkos - are an Eastern Slavic ethnic group who speak an Eastern Slavic language or dialect known as Rusyn. Rusyns descend from Ruthenians who did not adopt the Ukrainian ethnic identity in the early twentieth century. Some governments have prohibited the use of the term Rusyn, as seen after 1945 in Soviet Transcarpathia and Poland, and by the early 1950s in Czechoslovakia.[5] Today, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Serbia and also Croatia officially recognise Rusyns as an ethnic minority.[6] In 2007 Rusyns were recognized as a separate ethnicity in Ukraine by the Zakarpattia Regional Council. Rusyns within Ukraine have Ukrainian citizenship, and most have adopted a Ukrainian ethnic identity [3]. Most contemporary self-identified ethnic Rusyns live outside of Ukraine. Of the estimated 1.2 million people[5] of Rusyn origin, only 55000 have officially identified themselves politically or ethnically as Rusyns, according to contemporary censuses. The ethnic classification of Rusyns, however, is controversial, as few contemporary scholars claim it as a separate East Slavic ethnicity -- distinct from Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians.[7][8][9] The majority of Ukrainian scholars, as well as some Rusyns when considering their self-identification, consider Rusyns to be an ethnic subgroup of the Ukrainian people.[10][11] This is disputed by some Lemko scholars.[12] The terms Rusyn, Rusniak, Lemak, Lyshak and Lemko are considered by some scholars to be <b>...</b>

Ukraine: A Hutsul Wedding, Part I
This is part one of two short (8-10 min) pieces I have edited of footage I took at a wedding in the Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine in August 2004. The wedding was that of a cousin of a friend, Anna. Much of Anna's heritage is Hutsul. Hutsuls and their descedents have lived in their part of the Carpathians for some 500-600 years. The sign at the entrance to Anna's home village of Jabloniv, 15 km from the town of Kolomyja in the state of Ivano-Frankivsk, boasts 450 yrs of settlement. The video begins with footage of Anna, two other friends (including my second-cousin Oksana Kolodnytska from Pidhajtsi in Ternopil state) and I leaving from Anna's village for another, nearby village for the wedding. The majority of Hutsuls identify themselves as Ukrainians, unlike other peoples of the Carpathians who, like the Hutsuls, speak a language closely related to Western Ukrainian dialects but who have traditionally called themselves Rusyns--ie, who never adopted the Ukrainian sense of their Rusyn identity, such as many Lemkos, Bojkos and Dolynjany. Many members of these Carpathian ethnic groups insist that they form a seperate ethnic identity from Ukrainians and refer to themselves as Rusyn or Carpatho-Rusyn. I am of the mind that the outsider must accept the ethnic self-definition of the majority of any ethnic group. Hence, Hutsuls indeed are Ukrainian, while it is up to Lemkos, Bojkos and Dolynjany to work out whether they belong to the Ukrainian group or are still to this day <b>...</b>
