The Russina refugees in Greece : a first attempt to register
Main Article Content
Abstract
Over 30.000 anti-bolshevik Russians reached Greece, among other Balkan
countries, during 1920 seeking temporary or permanent refuge. Greece, as
part of the Entente’s anti-communist campaign, welcomed the White-russians
and, with great help from the League of Nations and international humanitarian organizations, tried to corpe with them along with the huge flow of Greek
refugees from Asia Minor. Those (about 3-4.000 in 1928) who didn’t end
up to USA, Latin America, Canada or Australia, managed to settle peacefully
in Greece, preserving at the same time their national identity by their own
social, educational and religious institutions.
