The article presents a part of conclusions from the ethnographic field research conducted in 2010-2011 in Wisłok Wielki, a village situated in Podkarpacie region. This study was carried as a re-study of a local community after the research made by British social anthropologist Chris Hann (1985). He found that the village, inhabited by immigrants descended from many directions of Poland, who came to Wisłok after the Lemkos, indigenous population had been displaced, did not develop solidarity, and the bonds among them were powerless.
After thirty years his diagnosis occurs actual, but using the narrations about the past enables to understand the complexity of this matter.
