Juraj Jakubisko�s statement to the World Forum of Rusyn Youth
Read by Anna Kuznakova


I am awfully happy that there were, are and will still be Rusyns in the world!

I am happy that Andy Warhol was a Rusyn, that I am a Rusyn. You are Rusyns and everyone at this congress are Rusyns! We simply are here in this world, and we are leaving traces behind us of which we can be proud...

I sincerely congratulate you all.

Your Juraj Jakubisko.
