| Popis | Following the October revolution of 1917 – exactly a century ago – a wave of Russian emigrants ooded into Western Europe. To face this situation, various European countries reacted by receiving refugees. In the course of those early years, one country adopted a very special policy, that is, Czechoslovakia. The experience of emigration profoundly changed the Russian emigrants.While at the end of the nineteenth century they considered Russia the spiritual (and political) heir of Byzantium – in the image and likeness of the last Romanov czars – the collapse of the empire led them to interpret Byzantium as a multicultural structure. The empire of Constantinople thus became the re ection of a global cultural reality in the image of Russians scattered throughout Europe and the United States, but also in the image of a growing interest – especially in France, Germany and in the United States – among scholars far from the Russian context. |
