The Lemko Republic in Florynka | 1995 Documentary by Krzysztof Krzyzanowski

Aleksander Kuryłło, a Kraków native of Lemko-Rusyn descent from the village of Florynka, years later visited his ancestral village, to seek traces of the activity of his grandfather, Father Vasyl’ Kuryłło, who before WWI was the pastor of the local Greek Catholic parish, and later a Lemko activist. This documentary tells of an important yet forgotten episode of Lemko history, which was the attempt by the Lemkos in 1918-19 to create their own quasi-state, the Rusyn Republic, in the Low Beskid Mountains (Beskid Niski). Father Vasyl’ Kuryłło was one of the main initiators of this idea. How this attempt turned out for the Lemkos and Father Kuryłło is told in this documentary produced in 1995 by Krzysztof Krzyżanowski. Much thanks to Brian McHugh in assisting with the subtitles for this video. #rusyn #carpathorusyn #lemko #лемко
