But in Polish Mts there are Rusins who are not Russian - they are really Wallach or Vlach (<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">Wołosi</span></span>) origin - the mountaineers who came here from Balkans, mainly from Romanian Carpatia.<br /> In Tatra Mts we can find <span style="font-style: italic">Rusinowa Polana </span>- Rusin's meadow, the place owned by Rusins. https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=8853#8853 Haloosia Mon Feb 04, 2013 9:39 am https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=8853#8853
