Culture

Economy

The village's economy has always been agricultural. With the rise of communism in the second half of the 20th century, individual farmers were more or less forcibly consolidated in a local collective farm (similar to Soviet kolchoz). The economic situation of the now private collective farm is uncertain.

There is a small local shop with consumer credit activities and a small local pub, but the pub has been closed down recently, however, because of violence.
