The terms ‘return migration’ or ‘re-emigration’ deal with the return of the diaspora to the country of origin and are therefore full of nationalistic perspective. These terms can be useful in the case of a diasporic return to the country of origin, however, the use of the term ‘ethnic return migration’ should be clarified as well becaus migration of diasporic descendants (to the country of origin of their ancestors) by strategic, rational and pragmatic use of their ethnic disposition (i.e. passports of their ancestors with written nationality) should also be looked into. Indeed, term ethnic return migration expresses that in the case of some diasporic descendants their ethnic origin might be lost and the diasporic identification questioned hence their migration to the country of origin of their ancestors could be analysed as mobility for material or economic benefit. In this article I will analyse the migration of diasporic descendants from West Ukraine and South Moldova to find out whether they incline more to return migration/ re-emigration or to ethnic return migration.

At the end of the 1940s, a wave of many thousands of Greek refugees fled their country, which was torn by civil war, for Czechoslovakia. Around thirty years later, there was a political change in Greece that allowed the refugees to return to their homeland. In the meantime, however, a new generation of Greeks had grown up in Czechoslovakia who did not remember their parents’ country and had never even visited. This article is situated within the theoretical framework of research on return migration. It traces the differences in the presentation of narratives on motivations to migrate back “home” of those who migrated. It also addresses the research field of transnationalism, and the author inquires into whether the narrators maintain any form of cross-border ties to the country from which they migrated.
