Ruské (until 1927 Slovak Ruská; Hungarian Zemplénoroszi - until 1907 Oroszruszka)[1] is a former village in Okres Snina (Prešovský kraj) and today a cadastral municipality of Stakčín in eastern Slovakia. It is located in the Bukovské vrchy Mountains below the main Carpathian ridge in the source area of the Cirocha River and near the state border with Poland. The former town center lies at an altitude of 486 m above sea level, the distance to Snina is about 26 kilometers. The Pľaša National Nature Reserve extends to the east of the town,[2] the cadastral municipality as such lies entirely in the Poloniny National Park. The end of the town came with the construction of the Starina reservoir on the Cirocha further downstream in the 1980s. Although it was far from the flooded area, an extensive drinking water protection area meant that all villages in the upper Cirocha valley, including Ruské, had to be evacuated. In 1986, the displaced village was incorporated into Stakčín. Today, only the municipal cemetery, the military cemetery from the First World War, a chapel on the site of the demolished church from 1789 and three houses stand on the site of the former village. A stone road from 1861, the so-called Porta Rusica, leads to the Ruské sedlo saddle on the border with Poland.[5]

Porta Rusica stone road On the cadastral area of the former village of Ruské, in the area of the Starina reservoir, there is the Porta Rusica stone road, which has been declared a cultural monument. This road was built between 1861 and 1865 and originally led from Michalowiece through the Russian border crossing Sattel to the Polish town of Baligród, from where it probably continued to Lviv. The Porta Rusica stone road thus connected Hungary with Lesser Poland. It is the only road that has survived from this period in the territory of Slovakia. The Porta Rusica stone road is still preserved today on a section with a length of 4 km, with 16 bends and a height of 247 m. On the Polish side, it is only a short section, about 200 m long. Porta Rusica is also part of the tourist border crossing with Poland - Osadné - Balnica.

Starina (Slovak: Vodná nádrž Starina) is a reservoir in north-eastern Slovakia, north of the town of Stakčín in the Carpathian Mountains. The reservoir is located on the Cirocha River within the Poloniny National Park and was developed between 1981 and 1988. It has a surface area of 311 hectares and a capacity of 59.8 million m³ of water[1] and is an important water reservoir for eastern Slovakia, mainly for the cities of Prešov and Košice. The long-distance water pipeline is 134.5 kilometers long. Most of the town of Starina - today still part of Stakčín - was flooded as a result of the dam construction. Starina gave the reservoir its name. The six villages located above the reservoir - Dara, Ostružnica, Smolník, Ruské, Veľká Poľana and Zvala - were designated as drinking water protection areas and were therefore also depopulated. A total of 3,463 residents were relocated and 769 houses demolished.
