Because of my recent “peasant-mania” („Chłopomania” in Polish) obsession, I discovered something called Urzecze some time ago. I came across it while digging into the genealogy of my ancestors. On both sides of my family - my mother’s and my father’s - it turned out that our ancestors were Urzeczanie, and the region where my family has lived “forever” is actually a historical microregion called Urzecze.
Urzecze is a forgotten Warsaw/sub-Warsaw microregion stretching from the area of Mokotów all the way to Góra Kalwaria. Its culture was revived by Dr. Maurycy Stanaszek (Polish anthropologist, historian, and researcher).
When I learned about this region, I contacted Dr. Stanaszek and shared my family tree with him, which confirmed my earlier suspicions. I also gave him the oldest family photographs I managed to find at home.
Suddenly, I realized that some old family house was actually a typical example of Urzecze architecture, or that my grandfather making a living in his youth by weaving wicker baskets and fishing in the Vistula River was also a very typical Urzecze occupation. Some expressions I remembered older people using in my childhood turned out to be part of the Urzecze dialect.
These people were deeply connected to the Vistula River - and back then, the Vistula was basically a highway. They made their living through fishing, river transport, and draining wetlands along the riverbanks, something they had done for centuries. And most of them were actually… immigrants.
They arrived here by sailing down the Vistula at the end of the 17th century from areas that are now Latvia, Estonia, Finland, northern Germany, Western Pomerania, Pomerania, and the Netherlands. They knew how to drain marshlands, so the Polish nobility hired them on contracts. They lived under Olęder law and were free people.
One beautiful thing about Urzecze was how open it was - you only had to settle there to become one of them ❤️
And somehow, all of this was forgotten. Why? It feels as if the generation born after World War II completely cut itself off from this culture.
I honestly feel like I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole 😂 but at the same time, it’s such an amazing adventure. Last weekend, I went to the Urzecze Festival to learn more about the culture. It was a pretty surreal experience, because some of the traditions presented there reminded me of my childhood at my grandparents’ house (they also lived in Urzecze, on the same street as my parents, just a few houses away).
I’m definitely going to keep digging into this history. I still have several Urzecze festivals ahead of me, as well as other events connected more broadly with traditional peasant culture. I’ll definitely come back with more fun facts 😂
I also already have a few ideas for projects connected to all of this. I’m completely obsessed at this point - and I need to make use of it 😂
I’m attaching a photo showing women wearing traditional Urzecze folk costumes.
Like this post please if you found it interesting - I’ll know there’s someone here who wants to read more of this stuff :P

The fact that eastern #European countries are still unsure about letting #Ukraine into the fold is - NGL - kind of bitch made. No matter the excuse, we smell the fear of the #Russian bear.
To my friends who are #Slavic and #Baltic, do not fuck around. You know what #Russia did to #Chechnya.
We know what #Kremlin TV has said since 2022 - even to this day - that #Poland, #Lithuania and #Finland are still on the menu.

#today we went to a history presentation on the taverns of #Cleveland
It covered the taverns in Ohio City and #Slavic village
Many neighborhood taverns during the big imitations from #Irish #German #Italia #Croatia were covered. I've been to many of them when I was allowed to drink 😆
Here's some shots from the 2nd floor of #GLBC Great Lakes Brewing Company

Koschei the Deathless is a powerful, malevolent sorcerer in East Slavic folklore who achieved immortality by separating his soul and hiding it inside a nested, "matryoshka-style" container: a needle within an egg, inside a duck, inside a hare, inside a chest, buried under a green oak on the mythical island of Buyan. His original recipe (with some obvious substitutions) would later be known as the "turducken". #folklore #cooking #slavic #wizard #deathless #lich #turducken #sorcerer
