The publication provides a comprehensive account of the repression of Czechoslovak citizens and compatriots in the Soviet Union during the Second World War. It affected thousands of refugees from Subcarpathian Rus, hundreds of Protectorate Jews and other inhabitants of occupied Czechoslovakia who sought refuge from racial or political persecution by Nazi Germany or Horthy's Hungary. Most of them were arrested by the Soviet authorities for illegal border crossing, espionage and other fabricated offences and sentenced to several years of forced labour. In the gulag camps scattered throughout the USSR, their fates intertwined with those of compatriots previously sentenced during collectivisation or the Great Terror. Other Czechs and Czechoslovaks became victims of mass murders and executions staged by the Soviet Security Service during the war. Written by leading Czech experts based on their years of research in Ukrainian, Russian and Czech archives and interviews with survivors, the book contains over three hundred photographs, documents and maps illustrating the fates of forgotten victims of the Soviet regime.
