Abstract:
Nowadays, the Lemkos are one of the four legally recognized ethnic minorities in Poland, until the period of displacement under the „Vistula” operation, living in a compact group in the area of the Low Beskids and the western part of the Bieszczady and the eastern Beskid Sądecki. The theme of the village in Lemko art and culture is not the subject of much research and scientific studies. After the „Vistula” operation, the Lemko villages were deserted. Currently, the Low Beskids is called the land of tourists, because young Lemkos go to larger agglomerations, and older generations leave. With the displacement of the Lemkos, the perception of the village has changed – young Lemkos, working on the topic of loss, take abandoned Lemko villages and the issue of identity as the main point of their research. They notice the void left by their ancestors and pose clear questions about the responsibility for the operation „Vistula”. The aim of the research papers is to analyse the issues of socio-cultural changes and the theme of loneliness, changeability and duration. The text is based on evoked materials, i. e. interviews, available literature and selected examples of contemporary art dealing with the subject of the Lemko region. The works of, among others, Katarzyna Szweda and Michał Szymko.

Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to cover the socio-cultural environment of Ruthenians, Lemkos and Rusnaks in a historical context. The study used methods of analysis of historical sources, which reflect the main trends in the development and functioning of the socio cultural life of ethnic groups of Ukrainians. The sociocultural method made it possible to consider the Ruthenian, Rusnak and Lemko culture as an integral part of the national traditions of the Ukrainian people through the prism of the determining factor of culture. To obtain comprehensive information on the coverage of the general characteristics of socio-cultural life of ethnic groups, a number of theoretical methods were used: review and analytical analysis of scientific, folklore, historical, ethnographic, cultural and art literature within the studied topics; a historical method that traces the historical stages of Ruthenians, Rusnaks, and Lemkos, as well as a phenomenological method for understanding the importance of the culture of ethnic groups of Ukrainians in the context of cultural aspect of identification. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the comprehensive coverage of the sociocultural environment in the context of history. Conclusions. Therefore, the Eastern Slavic group of the Carpathian region, in particular Ukraine, made up of Transcarpathian Rusyn-Ukrainians and Rusyns of Serbia, for centuries was influenced by those peoples who surrounded them (Poles, Slovaks, Hungarians, Romanians, Germans, Serbs, Croats), they also enriched the culture of these peoples, including Bachka, Kerestur and other places. But despite these circumstances, the Ruthenian and Ukrainian migrants did not lose their national identity. Cultural ties between the Bachka Ruthenians and the Carpathian population have never been broken. At the beginning of the 19th century, before the politicization of the Lemko and Ruthenian issues, we could talk about the unity of the Lemkos and the Bachka Ruthenians in the realm of national consciousness, culture and language, their interaction in the cultural and ethnic plane of all Rusyn-Lemko diasporas. Evidence of the affinity of the Bachka Ruthenians with the entire Rusyn-Ukrainian ethnocultural space is the spread of the genre of Kolomyia, and they brought the tradition of the Ruthenian school to Bachka from Transcarpathia. Therefore, we can claim that Ukrainian ethnicity is related to Serbia and Croatia. However, Ruthenian identity can only be strengthened when it focuses on the Ukrainian nation. It is proved that studying the history, peculiarities of determining the identification of the Ukrainian population in different territories is one of the main issues of today. The folk culture of ethnic groups of Ruthenians, Lemkos and Rusnaks bears the marks of Ukrainian-wide culture. Despite the complex historical events, the Lemkos, Ruthenians and Rusnaks migrants, at their core, retained their national, in particular, Ukrainian specificity of identification.

Abstract:
In 1934, in the publishing concern of I. Tyktor “Ukrainian Press”, the editorial board of the biweekly “Nash Lemko” was formed, the first editor of which was Yulian Tarnovych, who later founded the “Library of Lemkivshchyna” publishing seria, which published and distributed books on Lemki subjects, in which the overarching idea was the idea of historical and mental unity of the Lemki people with Ukrainians from other regions, and hence the popularization of the Lemko region and the centuries-old cultural heritage of its inhabitants as a component of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. In the article, for the first time, all editions of the book seria “Library of Lemkivshchyna” of the magazine “Nash Lemko” 1936–1939 edited by Yu. Tarnovych were investigated, and the exact authorship of individual numbers stored in the departments of Ukrainian studies and rare books of the Vasyl Stefanyk National Scientific Library of Ukraine in Lviv and in the Scientific Library of LNU named after I. Franko, the factual content and thematic palette of the book editions of the seria were analyzed, their relevance at the time and today was proven, reviews and reviews of the book products of the seria were introduced into scientific circulation. Among the analyzed publications are books by eight authors, cultural figures of the Lemko region (Yu. Tarnovych under his own name and pseudonym Vsevolod Yaroslavych, R. Antonovych, I. Shevchyk-Lukavychenko, F. Kokovsky, V. Klish, O. Mysevych, I. Bugera, V. Hylak under a pseudonym Yeronim Anonim). The analysis of the factual content and subject matter of the book editions of the entire seria showed that, promoting the idea of Ukrainian national unity, they contributed to the formation of the Lemks’ understanding of the uni­queness of their traditional material and spiritual culture, national identity, revitalization of the social life of the region, were an important factor in the pat­riotic education of young people, introduced wide circles of the Ukrainian public of Galicia to the life and spiritual heritage of the westernmost branch of the Ukrainian people. Today, they are a valuable source not only for studying the publishing culture of the past, but also for the history of the development of Ukrainian ethnic identity in the Lemko lands.

Abstract:
Abstract During the communist period, the Lemko community did not have its own separate ethnic organization in Poland. In the USA, the Lemkos were able to conduct social and political activities without any obstacles. Even before World War II, two important organizations were established: the Russophile Lemko-Soyuz and the Ukrainophile Organization for the Defense of Lemkivshchyna in America. The social and political transformation initiated by the elections of June 1989 changed the situation of national and ethnic minorities. The period of political transformation in Poland also activated the Lemkos, who also took advantage of these changes to formalize and develop their activities. The first postwar Lemko organization was the Lemko Association. As a counterbalance for Lemkos Association, Ukrainophiles created in Gorlice their own organization – Union of Lemkos. American activists also had to find their way in the new political circumstances. When the Soviet Union collapsed, not only did the ideological base of Lemko-Soyuz fall into ruin, but also its financial base. OOL found itself in a much better position than Lemko-Soyuz during the period of political transition in Eastern Europe. The anti-Moscow stance of the Ukrainianophile organization allowed it to remain credible and continue to fight for the interests of Ukraine. However, the organizations, both Polish and American, in their multifaceted activity still contribute to consolidation and preservation of Lemkos’ cultural identity and preservation of their traditions.

Abstract:
The aim of this article is to reconstruct the self-image of Lemkos – an ethnic group, originally from Transcarpathia, deported from their homeland after World War II. The data come from 34 ethnographic interviews conducted either in Lemko ethnolect (N=17) or in Polish (N=17). The analysis employed the methodology developed by Lublin School of Ethnolinguistics. It showed that there are four predominant profiles of Lemko identity: (1) Lemko – a victim of history, (2) Lemko – an exile, (3) An ethnic and cultural Lemko, (4) Lemko – a peasant.

Abstract:
In 1947, as the result of the Vistula Operation,Lemkos were resettled to the Western and NorthernTerritories of Poland, this making them abandon their materialpossessions which remained at their former domicile proneto devastation. Certain Lemkos resented those developmentsto the extent that following 1956 some returned to theirnative land, determined to save their tangible and intangibleculture. Amateur artistic projects were revived, and itwas decided that traces of Lemko tangible heritage wereto be taken care of. This led to the concept of creating anethnographic Lemko museum. In 1968, using Teodor Goczsfarmstead at Zyndranowa, a memento hall was created; itlater assumed the name of the Museum of Lemko Culture.The institution continuously faced challenges: it lackedfinancing and factual supervision for its operation. Despitethis, the Museum collection continued growing, and newbuildings were safeguarded for the purpose. The Museumscreators aimed not only at preserving and displaying tracesof Lemko tangible heritage, but also at maintaining bonds ofthe displaced Lemkos with their former homeland. Withtime, the Museum also began playing an important role inpreserving the Lemko ethnic identity.

Abstract:
ON THE CALPACK OF THE MOUNTAINS - OR LEMKO IDENTITYThe paper refers to the bilingual, Polish-Lemko, collection of poems by Władysław Graban,Na kołpaku gór On the Calpack on the Mountains, published in 1991. The mountains, the Beskids, the Lemkos’ homeland, are presented as the exotic calpack, a type of cap made of several pieces of fabric sewn together. The analysis is based on the assumption that the Lemkos’ identity has been shaped like a calpack, sewn together from various cultural, religious and linguistic elements as a result of cultural transgressions — complex in their course and stretched over time. In the successive parts of the article the author discusses the various components of the ethnic identity of this minority, little known to the public at large.

Abstract:
Abstract This article presents the Lemkos games and fun as popular forms of physical culture of the Lemko community living in former areas of south-eastern Poland. It presents them as part of the intangible culture of the vanishing ethnic group. The traditional elements of physical culture of the Lemko community, especially fun and games have been presented on the basis of the general characteristics of this ethnic group, and the entire history of the presence of the Lemkos in Poland. Folk fun and games, as a form of physical activity are presented in the broad sense of physical and cultural system and the Lemko community located within the cultural system. The need for such a study is due to the fact that there are no other ethnological or cultural anthropology studies on physical culture of this ethnic group.

Abstract:
The study attempts to identity the imaginary constructs presented in Lemko literature referred to Russia and Russianness. Social and geopolitical conditions of the formation of the Lemko ethnic identity played a key role in their creation. In the text the hypostases of Russianness, concretizing themselves in the Lemko identity discourse, are singled out: the myth of the righteous tsar – the defender of persecuted Ruthenians and the vision of Russia as a land of prosperity. Personal and textual examples of the impact of these myths are presented. Social utopias built on their basis are described. The consequences of the political interpretation of these mythical and cultural images for the fate of the entire Lemko community are indicated.

Abstract:
In 1947, the Ukrainian and Lemko minorities were forcibly resettled in Poland and dispersed from south-eastern Poland to the north-west of the country. The displaced persons were subject to various exclusionary restrictions, which even concerned funeral practices/funeral rituals. Cemeteries are treated in the article as a specific place of ethnic and cultural manifestation of groups living in a given area. National identity is understood by the author as a certain lifestyle observed from the outside, creating a “cultural pattern” referring to a specific set of values. The way the dead are remembered is a kind of confirmation of the possibility of maintaining one’s own identity and the prevailing intergroup relations – ethnic and social. The author looks for answers to questions about what possibilities existed to commemorate the deceased after the Vistula operation, identifying them as Ukrainian or Lemko, what favored them and what constituted a barrier.
