Monika Sivakova comes from the village of Brekov. She was 52 during the interview. She comes from the working-class family. She graduated from the secondary grammar school in Humenné. She has two adult children. She speaks about the local Romani community, the co-existence with the majority, about the Romani language and the significant cultural and social changes.
The regional history of the Roma living in the village of Brekov is the subject of audio recordings that DICRK obtained free of charge from researcher Elena Cinová. Her research project called Brekov Roma in the Flow of Time was supported in 2020 by the Fund for the Support of the Culture of National Minorities. Guided interviews are in Slovak and bring closer the life and culture of the Roma and their perception of social change in the region.
