The Zamieszańcy area
The language island on the ethnographic map of the Austrian monarchy by Karl von Czoernig-Czernhausen (1855)

Zamieszańcy (about mixed people , Ukrainian замішанці ) are the names of the members of the Ruthenian group living in the Dynów Mountains north of Krosno .

This linguistic island emerged in the 15th and 16th centuries in the most inaccessible area of ​​the mountains on very poor ground. The Ruthenians founded 10 villages, 8 of which were united : Czarnorzeki , Węglówka , Krasna , Oparówka , Rzepnik , Pietrusza Wola , Bonarówka , and Wólka Bratkowska , while Gwoździanka and Blizianka lay apart. Before the Polish conquest of Red Ruthenia around 1344, this still forested area lay east of Wisłok , which roughly formed the border between Poland and Ruthenia, but was later added to the Pilzno district of the Sandomir Voivodeship . Around 1600 there were the four only Orthodox churches in the voivodeship (Bonarówka, Krosna, Oparówka, Węglówka). After the Union of Brest (1596) the area became Greek Catholic.

In the late 18th century, when the area became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804) during the first partition of Poland in 1772 , these places had a total of 4,722 inhabitants, of which 4,318 (91.5%) were Ruthenians, 316 (6th century ) , 7%) Poles and 88 (1.9%) Jews. In 1930 there were 8,890 residents, including 7,595 (85%) Ruthenians, 1230 (14%) Poles and 65 (1%) Jews. Polonization followed mainly in the isolated villages of Gwoździanka and Blizianka.

From the 19th century many families, even over 10%, emigrated to North America. After the Second World War, over 90% were resettled in the Soviet Union .
