Goryuns (also Goriuns, Goryuny) is a little-documented ethnic group of East Slavs living around Putyvl in Sumy Oblast of Ukraine. The dialect of the Russian language spoken by Goryuns has some features of Belarusian and Ukrainian.
Goryuns are usually considered to represent a tiny sub-ethnos of Russians . They are autochtonous to the region, their ancestors lived here from the times of Kievan Rus.
James Stuart Olson describes them as a Ukrainized subgroup of the Polekh, or "Russian settlers mixed with local Belarusians and Lithuanians". Regardless, they consider themselves to be distinct from other Russians, as well as Ukrainians living in the same region . They are known for their unique style of polyphonic singing.
There are different views on the origin of Goriuns. Accoring to Fiodar Klimchuk, the Goryuns may be descendants of local Siverians or they might be of mixed Siverians-Radimich stock.
