Welcome to Ukraine The document says that a Hutsul woman was accused of setting fire to a landowner’s house and found guilty of arson, for which crime she was sentenced to death and executed. Hutsul applied and decorative art is in demand — many of the Hutsul works of decorative art have found their way to private and public collections in many countries of the world.

Hutsul culture bears a noted resemblance to the traditional culture of Romania [7], with that of western Ukraine [8] [9], and with that of other mountaineous people which may have similar origins, such as the Gorals in Poland and Slovakia[10] and the Moravian Wallachians in the Czech Republic.

Welcome to Ukienet Under the auspices of the Cheremosh Ukrainian Hutsul Society, this popular dance ensemble and school was formed in 1960 to maintain and perpetuate the cultural heritage and folklore of the Hutsuls. Until Ukraine became independent in August, 1991, Hutsul organizations such as Cheremosh preserved the history and traditions of the Hutsuls which, under fifty years of communist rule, were all but eliminated in their native land. The Hutsul region in the Carpathian Mountains and the life, customs, traditions, and art of the Hutsuls has always attracted scholars and inspired poets, writers, and dramatists. www.ukienet.com /cheremosh.htm   (237 words)

Celebrating a Carpathian Mountain Christmas with the Hutsuls The Mongol Tatar invasion of the Kyivan state in the 13th century is an essential chapter in Hutsul history: numerous Ukrainians "headed for the hills" to escape foreign domination. The earliest written references to the Hutsuls come a little later, in Polish sources of the 14th and early 15th centuries. It is possible that the very name "Hutsul" comes from a Romanian word that means "highwayman" or "brigand." Other linguists think that "Hutsul" comes from a Slavic word that means "nomad," as the Hutsuls historically left their native areas to find freedom in the mountains. www.ukraine-observer.com /articles/226/965   (1422 words)

The Rusyns - Rusyn A few of the Hutsul homesteads had a covered courtyard, of which one part near the house was well maintained (paradnyi podviria), while the other part was left for work (zadviria) connected with the adjacent farm buildings. This architectural complex reflected well the settlement pattern of the Hutsuls and their livestock-raising economic activity, operated and carried out by large families whose several generations often lived within a single homestead (grazhda). Somewhat similar to the layout of Hutsul grazhda are domestic dwellings in a few Rusyn villages (Osturna, Litmanova, Nizne Repase) in far western Spish county. www.rusyn.org /rusyns-architecture.html   (1607 words)

Hutsul region Hutsul Beskyd, where lumbering has left only a third of the area forested. In the second half of the 19th century the region's economy declined because of its remoteness from railway lines, the redistribution of land and impoverishment of the peasantry, and the latter's inability to compete with factories in producing and selling goods. Eventually, seasonal logging work, often outside the region, became the chief occupation of most Hutsuls. www.encyclopediaofukraine.com /pages/H/U/Hutsulregion.htm   (684 words)

Ukraine.com Discussion Forum - View Single Post - Kolomaya However, the Hutsul group's relations with the Rumanians have resulted in the spread of cultural features of the Balkan type, which are apparent in certain rites, in costumes, and in folk art. The Hutsuls are also skillful builders, and almost all the old wooden Hutsul churches, which resemble the old Byzantine types, are the work of Hutsul craftsmen. The Hutsul costume is of the same southern, Balkan type as that of the Boikians, the Lemkians, and the rest of the Carpathian population, but its colors and adornment are more striking than those of the Boikians or Lemkians. www.ukraine.com /forums/81146-post2.html   (575 words)

COSTUME AND PERSONAL DECORATION The greatest freedom from Hungarian influence naturally is to be found in the Verkhovyna and in the Turya valley, while the greatest variety is to be found in the villages in the district of Marmarosh.

Ukrainian-Polish Tourist Portal The uniqueness of hutsul's culture becomes the reason for the hypotheses of their descent from Caucasians which mixed with Ukrainians. Archaism of the ancient hutsuls' building reflects in the typical closed yard - it was a kind of fortress with gate and wicket.

GALLART Ethnographers of the late nineteenth century claimed that the Hutsuls themselves used the word hutsul in reference to their horses, and then someshow the word began to be used as reference to the people.
