Technically everything wrapped in a cabbage leaf (fresh or sour) in Russia is called golubtsy. That said the dish could be vegetarian as well. We are cooking a non-vegetarian version of golubtsy.
The word "golubtsy" originates from the Russian word “golubyj”. This word is old and nearly forgotten. Few derivatives are still in use in the modern Russian language: Golubchik – a gentle appeal to a male. Golubushka - a gentle appeal to a female. The word “golubyj” translates as “tender” or “gentle”. The word “golubets” rather referred to “a gentle dish”.
