The essay comments on the genesis of the Czech émigrés' emigration from the Habsburg Monarchy to the Caucasus Mountains, one of the main regions where they settled down. The author monitors individual waves of emigration, formation of the Czech diaspora and transformations of the Russian policy towards the immigrants. The Czech émigrés brought with them modern farming technologies and intensit farming methods that were gradually adopted by the local population. Entrepreneurs, who formed an important group, contributed to the development of local industry with beer brewing, meat processing or building industry. Czech teachers played an important role. Musicians represented a specific group especially in large tors such as Tiflis, Stavropol and Baku. The Czech colonizers gradually became Russian citizens, but many of them preferred to keep their Austrian nationality and return to their country after some time. A vast majority of them remained members of the Roman Catholic Church, but more and more of them gradually joined the Orthodox Church. The success of the Czech émigrés was based on their diligence and high level of literacy, which sharply contrasted with the level of the local population. The Czechs pursued a federative life and established compatriots' associations. A large Czech diaspora lived in the Caucasus Mountains in the early 20th century, but it became depleted after the revolution and the civil war.
