I think the comment by kozak34 is nothing but rude and indignant. Are you jealous that the Rusyns have finally found an outlet to share their culture in music, dance and food? Seriously, it's 2008, NOT 1948! Grow up and please reserve your rude and vulgar language for the other strange individuals with whom you surround yourself.
I am not Rusyn, but my heritage is Croatian. The Croatians are still a people who are not well-known even though our Fraternal organization was formed here in Pittsburgh back in 1894. I applaud any individual - regardless of age, etc that would have interest in their heritage and culture! The Rusyns work just as hard as any other ethnic group here in Pittsburgh (and abroad) to promote their culture and they should have their "time in the light" as well. I applaud the CRS and Slavjane for all of the hard work put forth to preserve their culture so that it may be passed to future generations.
