On Friday, September 22, in the premises of the Institute for culture of Ruthenians in Vojvodina, the promotion of Radovan Sremac’s book “Rusyn families in the villages of the Šid municipality” was held.
The following spoke about the book: Tatjana Bugarski, Ph.D., Helena Međeši, M.Sc., historian and director of the Institute Saša Sabadoš, M.Sc., and author Radovan Sremac, M.Sc. Sremac pointed out that, regardless of the fact that the basis of the book is statistics, data such as names and surnames of ancestors, still know how to interest people’s stories. More complete knowledge about their ancestors can help today’s generations to respect and preserve their identity, to get to know themselves and their cultural and historical heritage better.
