"Struggle for National Identity: Ukrainian and Russian Emigration in Interwar Czechoslovakia"

The research places the activities of Ukrainian and Russian emigrants and refugee relief organizations in Czechoslovakia in the 1920s and 1930s within a larger theoretical and methodological framework. This framework is based on the interrelations and networks between nation-state refugee policies and concepts of ethnicity, nationality, and citizenship. The aim is to show that Ukrainian and Russian emigrants were not merely passive objects of Czechoslovak refugee policy, influenced by discussions of a national question. In fact, Ukrainian and Russian refugee relief organizations were active at the international level. The lively debates about the national status of Ukrainian refugees to be indicated in the Nansen passports illustrate that the emigrants themselves influenced an agenda.
