Rusin - it's a surname you can easy missunderstand.
In Polish word Rusin means a man with Russian roots. But in Polish Mts there are Rusins who are not Russian - they are really Wallach or Vlach (Wołosi) origin - the mountaineers who came here from Balkans, mainly from Romanian Carpatia.
In Tatra Mts we can find Rusinowa Polana - Rusin's meadow, the place owned by Rusins.
