Part III: The outlaws of Transcarpathia – excerpts from a book written in 1934 by Czech writer, journalist Ivan Olbracht – translated into Hungarian by Zádor András and published in Bratislava in 1987. Olbracht travelled regularly to Transcarpathia; at the time, the region belonged to Czechoslovakia. Excerpts here comment mainly on the nature of the legend, lover, death and grave site of an outlaw (who allegedly specialized in crime aimed at robbing the rich and giving to the poor) named Nikola Suhaj who was active between 1917 and 1921.
