Slava Rusă village is inhabited by Lipovan population established here at the end of XIX century.

There are two groups: Lipovans with priest (“popovi”) and Lipovans without priest (“bespopovi”). There is a church for each group. The mass is officiated in Slavonic and it keeps all the old rules.

Local architecture is typical for the villages with Lipovan population: the house is placed with the small side in the street and there is no exterior fence. The roof shape presents two alternatives: one specific to the area and one having the gable cut at the superior part. Decorations are typical for Slavs: sun rays, mermaid. Doors and windows, with their lathed parts, have often decorating role too.

The most representative traditional occupations of the inhabitants are land cultivation, beekeeping and breeding. Some traditional trades are practiced too: wood processing (carpentry and houses building) and rock extraction.

Traditional costume stands out by its chromatic. Strong shades are used: red, blue, green, pink. Some clothes are changed, others kept their look.

Traditional customs keep many traditional sequences of the ceremonies. Wedding ceremony is the same. Even if their home is not in the village, young people come here to organize the wedding. The sequence “journey at dawn” is a special one. It is the journey of the women from the bride to the bridegroom, on Saturday dawn and symbolizes the days of a new life for the fiancée.

Another traditional custom is Shrove Sunday before Easter. The ceremony is an energy unchaining, the behavior being outside of the daily life standards. In this occasion, women prepares traditional food, part of the specific Lipovan gastronomy.

The church festival, on 8th November reflects also the tradition conservation. Each ceremonial sequence reminds ancient religious practices and faiths which significances are lost.
