Abstract

The article examines the debates surrounding the status and role of Russian Émigrés. The full-scale invasion launched by Russia against Ukraine on 24 February 2022 came as a shock to many, including many segments of the Russian population, but the outflux of individuals opposing Putin has been present from the 2014. That said, the invasion transformed this trickle into an outright deluge whereby estimated 700,000 up to 1,200,000 people left Russia. The article gives the historical context, describing the policies towards diaspora communities of the countries in conflict during and after WWII. Then will engage with the dilemmas surrounding the decision either to admit Russian Émigrés or close the doors on them. Current and future policies towards Russian Émigrés are considered with recommendation to continue giving preference to individual approach in assessing each case.

Notes

1. Around 10,000 individuals across the three states. See (Official Statistics Portal 2023; Official Statistics Portal Latvia 2023; Statistics Estonia 2023).

2. E.g., Italians. Similar to the trial of Dreyfus that served as a vivid example of the antiSemitism in France, the trial of Sacco and Vanzetti served as a similar example of prejudices against Italians in the United States. The high numbers of Italians involved in anarchist movements combined with overall suspicion of Catholics in the Protestant countries often resulted in their prejudiced treatment.

3. Devised as a sensible solution to the question of legality of reparations demanded from defeated Germany, this clause is seen as one of the major grievances that alienated German society from the Versailles Treaty and the dispositions it imposed, which was a factor leading to WWII. For a new and impressively detailed take on this, see (Cohrs 2022).

4. Catherin Belton, for example, describes influence of White Russian émigrés of the first wave on the attitudes and positions of Putin’s regime, who were eager to promote interests of a ‘Russian empire they still believed in no matter who had taken the reins of power’ in it (Belton 2020, 327).
