The village of Ruská Kajňa, situated in the Oľka River Valley, is one of the smallest villages in the Humenné district in terms of population. However, the historical events taking place during the 20th century in the village and the entire region, now referred to as the Horná Oľka micro-region, have influenced the political, social, cultural and economic development of the area on the periphery of the interest of the elites. The village was completely burnt down by the German troops, except for the Greek-Catholic church of St. Michael the Archangel. In winter, the inhabitants had to take shelter in the local forests. Upon returning, however, they faced another life-threatening crisis. Only charred torsos remained of their dwellings and outbuildings. After 1945, the process of renovation and construction under the patronage of the restored Czechoslovak Republic and its political elites started. In the study presented, the author deals with these two aspects, in particular the period from 1939 to 1945, with an emphasis on Partisan activity in the vicinity of the village, and the post-war reconstruction. Thus, the goal is to highlight the intersecting problems of the World War 2 period (the Jewish question, Partisan activity, burning of the village). The second part of the paper focuses on the post-war reconstruction of the village, with the whole process being completed in the early 1960s.
