The Czechoslovak legionnaires in Russia often met local women. They paid attention not only to their faces, but also to their character. The social status of women was also important. Most of the contacts were of short duration. In some cases, however, long-term relationships and even weddings also occurred. The most frequent forms were single contacts with prostitutes. This brought about the danger of contagious illnesses, particularly in Siberia and the Far East ravaged by the civil war. Nevertheless, some 'serious' relationships survived and many legionnaires brought their wives or girlfriends back to their home

The essay focuses on Czechoslovak volunteer corps in Russia in the days after the end of World War I. The main aim of the text is to demonstrate the soldiers' perception of the Russian Far East regions. The introductory part discusses the existing sources and topics connected with the topic of everyday life in the war. The main part of the text outlines several factors connected with the soldiers' stay in the Russian Far East regions: the architecture, languages, and everyday life of local townsfolk or peasants (clothes, boarding, hygiene, festivities etc.) or the soldiers´ relationship with local women (including Japanese prostitutes in Vladivostok). It was businesspersons, rickshaws, acrobats and prostitutes, whom the Czechoslovak legionnaires used to meet, so those occupations are understood in the diaries and memories as to be typical for the corresponding region. Czechoslovaks also met a lot of Japanese soldiers whose regiments garrisoned in the Vladivostok and the Baikal regions. Some of the records show a great soldiers' interest in foreign destinations, cultures, and customs. However, it is not to be omitted that there was a war raging all around the Czechoslovak distinctive soldiers-tourists for the entire time of their exploring the Far East.

The author clarifies a less known episode of the Czechoslovak military resistance during World War I, i.e. the Czechoslovaks' fighting within Serbian military units on the Dobrudja front. The essay does not concentrate on political or strictly military affairs; it focuses on the military everydayness and illustrates experiences of Czechoslovak volunteers as they were captured it in diaries, biographies and autobiographic books. The author concludes the essay with the fact that, after crossing from the Serbian to the Russian army, many veterans of the Dobrudja campaign occupied important positions in the Czechoslovak division and later in the army corps.
