Who are the Rusyns?

Special Announcement from the Youngstown Chapter:  

CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Do you know if you are Rusyn or have even

heard the word Rusyn?

The chapter will present a DVD titled:

 Who are the Rusyns?

When: March 29, 2020 1:30 PM

Where:  The Butler Institute of American Art, 524 Wick Ave, Youngstown, Ohio

If your grandparents came from Slovakia are you Slovak or Rusyn?  Or are you Ukrainian?  If your grandparents came from eastern Europe you just might be Rusyn.

 Come and join us and bring a friend to see what your ethnicity might be.  John Righetti former president of C-RS has created this DVD to give viewers a history that was influenced by political and religious changes that affected Rusyn identity.   After viewing the video, you might be surprised that anyone identifies themselves as Rusyn. You will learn why that happened.

 Come and join us to see this very important film to better understand a portion of Rusyn History. Since we are now the second and third generations of eastern European countries, we tend to forget our own history and ethnicity.
