The main subject of the article is a subjective vision of the Lemkos minority representatives on the future of this community, plotted from the perspective of contemporary times, based on personal experiences, thoughts and fears of Lemkos. The article is based on research among Lemkos community initiated in 2007 and finalized in 2009–2010. The study was particularly designed to clarify whether and how the Lemkos are able to build and protect their culture and tradition; how the Lemkos define their view and the most important elements that make up the multidimensional sense of cultural identity. The study was carried out using biographical interviews (IDI), and partly standardized. Author of the article, as a member of the Lemkos community, analyzes the Lemkos community from the perspective. Conclusions concern only specific group of interviewed people, so that can not be generalized to the entire Lemkos minority.
