Oleksa Dovbush lived without a passport: how the migration service operates in Hutsulshchyna today

Oleksa Dovbush, known as the defender of the downtrodden and a member of the opryshky, walked without a passport because migration services did not exist at that time. In the Carpathians, he often encountered opryshky, and even the gentry class did not have passports.

Today, at the regional market in Kosiv, you can find various Ukrainian products. Every Saturday, the market is extraordinarily busy. However, the working rhythm of the Kosiv migration service department is quite tense, as there is a need for a remote workplace in the Verkhovyna district.

• The Kosiv migration service department is located in the very center of the city;
• Several specialists work in Verkhovyna;
• Passports can be obtained in the village of Independence, conveniently for residents of remote villages.

Conclusion: In Kosiv, once a dominant opryshky area, one can not only visit a popular market and purchase authentic Ukrainian products but also obtain administrative services from the migration service department, which is actively developing and adapting to the needs of local residents.
