The Search for Roots – Ruthenes in the Czech Republic

During an evening dedicated to the literature and culture of Ruthenes in the CR, three female authors with Ruthene roots will present their work: the poet and teacher Barbora Zavadilová, the writer and psychologist Irina Malinová and the lyricist, singer and actress Jana Šteflíčková. Part of the event will be given over to a moderated discussion about their lives and relationship to their Ruthenian ethnicity and Ruthenian culture. There will also be a debate with authors of school papers and bachelor’s and master’s theses exploring the culture and history of Subcarpathian Ruthenia.
