Servitka Roma are Orthodox Christians. Their traditional occupations are smithing and fortune-telling. In the 19th century many young Servitka Roma also served in Cossack armies.[3][4]

Presently, Servitka Roma are one of the best-educated Romani groups.[1] They are known as excellent performers of Ruska Romani music and are often incorrectly considered to be Ruska Roma.[1]
