CEE PhotoFund of Humenne, Slovakia, has organized “Rusyns – Lost Homes,” a photo documentary project about the Rusyns displaced from eastern Slovakia when the Starina Dam was built in 1980.Rusyns were displaced from the villages of Starina, Dara, Ruske, Smolnik, Velka Polana, Ostruznica and Zvala.
Included in the project are archival family photographs and films, which show how life used to be in the Starina valley, as well as materials documenting the Rusyns’ expatriation and assimilation in the years that followed.
The exhibit premiered at Sariska Galeria in Presov (16 March – 8 May 2006), and traveled to Vihorlatske Muzeum in Humenne (21 May - 30 June 2006). Most recently it was at Matica slovenska in Snina (2 July - 31 August 2006).
A catalogue (94 pages, paperback, 14x13cm) can be ordered for 10 euro (including shipping) from CEE PhotoFund.

My name is Paroskaj Miroslav, I was born in Novi Sad 1979 year. I live in Rumenka, with my father Janko , Mother Zuzana (Marcok), and sister Vesna. My father is Rusyn, and mother is Slovak, so I am half Rusyn and half Slovak, my profession is graphic insigne.
This short essay is about my ancestors, I mean in this short essay I am going to talk about my family history (History of family Paroskaj).
This is how I got interest to look in past of my family.
Two hundreds of years died Paroskaj Danilo, my uncle. Day after his funeral, in our culture, in cemetery wore his cousins, children`s, grandchildren`s, brothers and sisters with family.
Why did I started like this?...
