This collective monograph's chapter deals with practical problems encountered by Greek civil war political refugees (1946-1949) during their stay in the socialist Czechoslovakia. It focuses on their attempts to return to their homeland since the first opportunities in the beginning of 1950's.
Their repatriation claims intensified after the fall of military junta in 1974 and then during the 1980's as a result of PASOK policies towards repatriates from countries of the Eastern bloc. In certain cases a new start in Greece was rather complicated and certain former refugees lost their illusions about Greece.
Some of them decided either to return to Czechoslovakia or to move to another country with a Greek diaspora.
