1. For more details about their research and academic activities, see. V. Gentshke, I. V. Sabennikova, and A. S. Lovtsov, Issledovateli russkogo zarubezhʹia: biobibliograficheskii slovarʹ = The researchers of Russian diaspora: biobibliographical reference Book, vol. 1 (Moskva: DirectMEDIA, 2018), 29–31 “Babka Lukash” (Babka Lukáš), 137–140 “Koprshivova-Vukolova Anastasiia Vasil’evna” (Kopřivová-Vukolovová Anastázie).

2. “Men outnumbered women by more than two to one,” according to Catherine Andreyev and Ivan Savický in their Russia Abroad: Prague and the Russian Diaspora, 1918–1938 (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2004), xi. The authors, however, provide no reference source. Many statistics from a neighboring region confirm the gender imbalance in Russian emigration and are provided in Miroslav Jovanović, Russkaia emigratsiia na Balkanakh 1920–1940 (Moskva: Biblioteka-fond “Russkoe Zarubezhʹe,” 2005), 133–35.

4. The lives of Russian emigrants in the outskirts of Prague are the subject of two small books by Anastasia Kopřivová: Rossiiskie emigranty vo Vshenorakh – Mokropsakh – Chernoshitsakh: dvadtsatye gody 20-go veka (Praga: Natsionalʹnaia biblioteka Cheshskoi respubliki, Slavianskaia biblioteka, 2000); Ruští emigranti ve Všenorech, Mokropsech a Černošicích 20. a 30. léta XX. století (Praha: Národní knihovna České republiky, Slovanská knihovna, 2003).

7. It’s not entirely clear why the Kalmyks were the only group singled out based on purely national criteria (as opposed to “regional” Siberians and Caucasians). Perhaps they were considered the most “unusual”? A small group (about a hundred people), but very active, “with their non-European features and equally unusual Buddhist religion, the Kalmyks aroused a certain amount of attention in Prague” (Kaleta, Petr, “Kalmyk Émigrés in Prague and Their Cultural Activities,” Slovanský přehled: historická revue pro dějiny střední, východní a jihovýchodní Evropy (Slavonic Review: Review for Central, Eastern and Southeastern European history) 106, no. 1 (2020): 152.
