Czech authors’ attention has been focused both on the mass social-economic emigration to Czarist Russia from Bohemia and Moravia which began in the eighteen sixties and the migration of Protestant exiles from Zelów in Poland after it became part of Russian or Congress Poland. The greatest interest can be observed in the topic of Czech compatriots in the Volhynia Governorate who, according to the first Russian census of 1897, accounted for 55 % of all Czechs with Russian citizenship.
