About the event

That evening we discussed:

  • Who is the head of the Montenegrin family?

  • What is the Montenegrin version of Domostroy?
    (Note: “Domostroy” is a historical Russian set of household rules and moral guidance.)

  • How are family and geography connected in Montenegro (what does “family toponymy” mean)?

  • Who are the “virgins” (virđine) and why has this “family cult” survived to this day?

  • What do Montenegrins traditionally “celebrate” (slaviti) and what is the next major Slava they will mark with special grandeur?

  • What does the saying “Over 30 — means not a man” mean?

… and many more historical, cultural, and everyday facts.

Speakers:

  • Miloš Popović – philologist and educator

  • Lena Ustinova – philologist and educator

Where and when:

We are waiting for the guys from Kharkiv

They really need at least two weeks of quiet sleep. Please, let's help them. The guys from this group have a common hobby: they all study in the same historical circle.

Let’s go together!

We are looking for helpers to go hiking and organize small walks for our guests-children from Ukraine. This is what our volunteer Alexey says, who does it regularly.
