For centuries, Slovaks and Carpatho-Rusyns have lived alongside one another in the
Central Carpathians, causing many to not be able to clearly define these groups
culturally. What do they have in common –and what makes them culturally
distinct? Enjoy a fascinating journey into the two ethnic group’s history, language, food,
dance and their identities.
John Righetti is the national president of the Carpatho-Rusyn Society, North
America’s largest Rusyn cultural organization. He has studied Carpatho-Rusyn history
and culture extensively in both the United States and Europe and has served in
numerous leadership roles in the international Carpatho-Rusyn community, including
recently as North American representative to the World Council of Rusyns.
