In the final stages of the civil war (1948-1949), Greek refugees started coming to Czechoslovak exile. Assisted by party cadres, the KKE government in Bucharest exile and Czechoslovak organs, the emigrants slowly started establishing themselves in the Czechoslovak society. Their incorporation was tied with the political progress and escalation of cold war, which dictated their social status in their new homeland. The community had to abandon thoughts of a speedy return to Greece and accept the fact that their stay in Czechoslovakia would be long, if not even permanent. The authoress used archive materials and accessible historiography to examine how the Greek immigrants coped with directives issued not only by their own communist head office and the party establishment of the hosting Czechoslovakia, but also by the Soviet Union. It shows how the individual actors met territorially and exterritorialy and what finally contributed to the Greeks' final naturalization in Czechoslovakia.
