Kosmatch est un village Houtsoul* de six mille âmes qui est caché dans les Carpates ukrainiennes. Il est divisé en 32 lieux-dits et s'étale sur près de quatre-vingt dix kilomètres carrés. Depuis 2004, j'ai eu la chance de séjourner régulièrement chez Dmytro Pojodjuk. Journaliste, député local, il est maintenant maire de ce magnifique village. C'est un homme plein d'humour et d'une richesse intérieure exceptionnelle. (*) Habitants d’une partie des Carpates ukrainiennes. |

Kosmach is a Hutsul* village of six thousand hearts which is hidden in the Ukrainian Carpathians. It is divided into 32 localities and is spread out over almost ninety square kilometers.
It is a magic place impregnated of ancestral traditions where each house contains folk secrets. Those which saw Vincente Minelli's film "Brigadoon" with Cid Charisse and Gene Kelly will understand me well. In the Forties until the middle of the Fifties Kosmach is the center of the resistance of the "Ukrainian insurrectionary army" UPA (Ukraïnska Povstantcha Armia). This army (but only this one), fought against the Soviet invasion in the west part of Ukraine. It is not astonishing that for the last presidential elections Yushchenko had here a score of 4001 votes against 40 for Yanukovich. Since 2004, I had the chance to remain many times at Dmytro Pozhodzhuk's. Journalist, local deputy and now he is the mayor of this wonderful village. It is a man full of humor and an exceptional interior richness. He knows the culture and the Hustul's traditions better than no one. He opened to me the gates of his secret garden. Thank you Dmytro! Follow the guide... (*) Inhabitants of a part of the Ukrainian Carpathians. |
