Abstract
The article acquaints the reader with the structure of Greek political emigration in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s, drawing on Czech as well as Greek archives. It follows primarily demographic, social, and cultural aspects of the emigre group that was closely linked to the Communist Party of Greece.
In particular, it pursues the issue of the forming of emigre identity in the era of De-Stalinisation. The article is concerned with social developments in the emigre group and their gradual integration into the Czechoslovak society of the 1960s.
It pursues the complicated process of building a new identity, the national and linguistic structure of the emigre group, its standard of living and employment, their educational system, the process of the formation of their own intelligentsia, and generation issues. Individual topics are examined on a socio-cultural level in the context of politicaldevelopments in Czechoslovakia and Greece.
