Romania's most northern: The Hutsuls

[oyster]

Ukrainian sub-group, an old sedentary population disregard all the BS written by Romanian or Ukrainian nationalists across the internet. Most probably a Slavic dominant element with some Vlach, Magyar and Germanic touch. Feel free to classify those in the pictures, I don't retain them as necessarily representative. The pictures are from special occasions, as Hutsuls dress as any other Europeans in the day to day life. Estimations go from 40 000 to 100 000 for the total population (although there were over 50 000 Ukrainians only in Suceava + Maramures counties of north Romania combined at the last census)

Magyar and Germanic touch Can't see them,racially they look more Romanian than Slavic or ukrainian in some cases,but the guy with the ukranian hairstyle should be deported.
The last picture looks very similar to a place in my county btw.

Hutsuls have nothing to do with Cossacks, man... They are highlanders, all of their territory is in the Carpathians, especially on slopes hardly reacheable until modern days. And about looks, as a group (don't take them individually) they would stand out in Vaslui, Iasi, Bucharest and other Romanian regions I know (you don't get to see all-Romanian groups of 20-30 with those features).

Thanks for stopping by, anyway. I was waiting more from Atrox :)

The examples shown are rather progressive and harmonious, with quite specific regional inspired variants of Dinarid (rather Norid), Alpinoid, Nordoid and Baltoid.

Taras Bulba actors were russians, same as Shadows of Forgoten Ancestors were russian also. In reality hutzuls look more germanic.

What does it have to do with anything? They were reenacting. Is that hairdo Russian? No.


In reality hutzuls look more germanic.

I couldn't care less how "Germanic" they look. Every person with insight on the matter knows western ukrainians are the most savage. Both Germans and Russians starved them to death for good reasons,but after Stalin died the 'fakery' just got larger,so today,officially, 1 in 3 "ukrainains" isn't even ethnic "ukrainian".

The fact about the movies is known and I also agree on the Hutsuls' appearance. I think it is a recent involvement of the Germans in the Hutsul genetic pool, not pre-dating 18th century when German colonization began in the region. Although, there were Germans in the neighbouring Maramures long long time before, from the 12th-13th centuries.

Hutsuls are an interesting blend of Vlach-Slavic culture and were the subject of the great Russian film Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors
