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.

The article presents an annotated edition of the parts of František Kubka’s Bulgarian Diary (1949) where the author — at that time the ambassador of the Czechoslovak Republic in Bulgaria — describes the life in Voyvodovo, the only Czech village in Bulgaria. Most of the information in the Diary comes from Kubka’s own visit in the village in 1948, in the time of preparation for remigration of its inhabitants to Czechoslovakia. The text is preceded by an introduction into the (study of) history of Voyvodovo and its Czech community and a short overview of F. Kubka’s work. It is also supplemented by explanatory notes and by a short analysis of its content at the end of the text.

In the tradition of imagology, as it was elaborated in the works of V. Todorov and Z. Urban, the author presents an image of the Czech community living in a village of Vojvodovo in Bulgaria from the beginning of the 20th century till 1950, as it was seen through the eyes of their neighbors. As a source the author uses published texts as well as unpublished memoirs dealing with Vojvodovo, and testimonies gathered during his fieldwork in Vojvodovo in a period 1997–2009. Derived from the mentioned sources, the final image of the Czechs in Vojvodovo is very positive. It presents them as a noticeably united group of puritans, who were industrious in an exemplary manner, primarily peasants, nevertheless very good traders, neat and culturally advanced, honest and willing, which made them good neighbors, except the fact that they were not very hospital to strangers.

EN
The text describes the history of the first Czech village in Bulgaria – Sesek. It is the first attempt to present systematically all known information about this village scattered in publications, unpublished materials and archives. One of the main purposes of the study is to prove that “Sesek” was de iure as well as de facto standard village inhabited by (primarily though not exclusively) Czech families – migrants from the Czech village Svatá Helena in Rumanian Banat, not just a “place” these went through on their way to later founded Vojvodovo (usually presumed to be the only Bulgarian Czech village).
