After the October Revolution, about ten thousand Russian refugees found shelter in Belgium. Belgium favorably met the Russians, and their numbers steadily increased. Despite the diversity of political sympathies and interests of the diaspora - from the monarchist views of the older generation through the post-revolutionary movements among the youth up to the conservative conformism that led part of the diaspora to cooperate with the Nazis - all aspects of the emigrant life were subordinated to one goal - the liberation of the homeland from the Bolsheviks ...
"Life after the Tsar" is the first monograph on the history of Russian emigration in Belgium in the interwar period. Based on unique archival documents, the book examines the multifaceted and controversial relationships of the Russian diaspora with the secular and ecclesiastical authorities of the new host country, as well as little-known aspects of Belgian history.
