Getting Ready for the (Slovak and Polish) Census

In every census since 1989, the number of Rusyns in Slovakia has grown, as has the number of Lemkos in Poland. This year, 2021, is our chance this decade to help grow those numbers even more.

Long-time Carpatho-Rusyn American activists John Righetti, president emeritus of the Carpatho-Rusyn Society, and Maria Silvestri, president of the John and Helen Timo Foundation, discuss why they’re excited about the 2021 Census in Slovakia and Poland.
