Abstract:
Over 30.000 anti-bolshevik Russians reached Greece, among other Balkancountries, during 1920 seeking temporary or permanent refuge. Greece, aspart of the Entente’s anti-communist campaign, welcomed the White-russiansand, with great help from the League of Nations and international humanitarianorganizations, tried to corpe with them along with the huge flow of Greekrefugees from Asia Minor. Those (about 3-4.000 in 1928) who didn’t endup 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.
