Abstract

The publication presents letters from the famous Lemko activist Dmitriy Vislotsky and his wife Olga (nee Burik), addressed to the “Grandmother of the Russian Revolution” Catherine Breshko-Breshkovskaya, who took part in the social and cultural life of the interwar Subcarpathian Rus’. Vislotskys had both business and informal relations with Breshko-Breshkovskaya. It is noteworthy that in the conditions of competition in the Carpathian region of various ethno-national ideologies, both Breshko-Breshkovskaya and Vislotskys (at least in the early 1920s) considered the Rusyn population as part of the All-Russian nation.
