In his book titled Iz nevidne strani neba: Razkrite skrivnosti staroverstva (From the Invisible Side of the Sky: Secrets of an Old Faith Revealed, Ljubljana 2015), Pavel Medvešček published testimonies of an old faith once practiced by some of the inhabitants living in certain parts of western Slovenia. His principal informants were unmarried men, the so-called "uncles". Based on fragments of their narratives, the author of this article explores their lifestyle and their position within their families. Based on the comparative material from Istria and Nadiške Doline/Valli del Natisone, she examines their situation in the wider historical and social context, setting out some particular issues for further research.
