Poienile de sub Munte, Repedea and Ruşcova. These three settlements on the border of Romania with Ukraine have been the home for the largest community of Ukrainian ethnics in Romania, forever caught between two worlds, between two cultures, at one side of the border or another. The animal breeding has always been their main occupation since the earliest times of their presence here.
