In Slovakia you can here the same thing, only Slovak is mixed with CS. It is kind of sad in that since the war and the border changes that the Rusyn peoples have drifted away from their own dialect into either one of Slovak or Ukrainian with a few 'po nasemu' vestigial odds and ends. But that has been and will always be the way of the world, nothing stays as once it was.

I have been enjoying these videos, but I am somewhat dismayed by a few of the more recent ones posted in the last few days which show a fair amount of 'modernization' in terms of guitar playing and western hymns being sung. It would appear to me that there is a clash among the clergy there between the traditionalists and modernizers who seem to bring a decidedly Latinizing influence to the table. I realize that they are competing with Protestants and Latin rite Catholics, but this sort of innovation only drives the Eastern Catholics further away from their Orthodox brothers and sisters.
