The article examines the specificity of the Renaissance influences on the Transcarpathian literature in the 16th century. The authors emphasise that the entry of Russian lands into Lithuania, Hungary, Austria-Hungary, Transylvania, and Poland made Outer Subcarpathia and Transcarpathia accessible to pan-European influences, which conditioned the synthesis of the authentic tradition with the dominant ideas of Western Renaissance. The influence of Hungarian culture was decisive for Transcarpathian literature. During the Renaissance, the Transcarpathian culture developed the concept of “Russianness” – a quality that preserved the Rusinian identity in the contexts of different foreign states. Rusinian literature of Transcarpathia was a synthesis of Hutsul, Boyko, and Lemko cultural traditions. The authors focus on the writings of Pavel Rusin and Sevastyan Klenovich, whose works were connected with the Transcarpathian Rusinian literature, with its ideas of the European Renaissance. Their artistic heritage is a significant contribution to the development of Renaissance Rusinian literature.
