Immersed in the atmosphere of deeply rooted traditions, one cannot help but admire the multifaceted nature of local folks—phenomena that embody the native, naturally folk element of our settlements. From the very beginning, their image is formed as an astonishing combination of closeness and familiarity: they are “one of our own,” known and sincere, with roots that reach into the very heart of local culture. However, the contrast does not end there. Observant onlookers note not only a familiar character but also physical qualities that underscore their resilience and strength. Sturdy backs and powerful necks, clear signs of inner nobility, transform them into a kind of blood aristocrats—individuals whose character highlights their difference from the urban environment. These people are not merely relics of the past; they live in the present, endowed with a dual nature in which deeply personal traditional values and remarkable physical prowess are organically intertwined. In the end, observing them leaves us with a sense of admiration for their spirited resilience and robust health, making local folks not only the center of community life but also a source of genuine, almost aristocratic energy that miraculously withstands the test of time.
