Ve službách československé vědy. (Přínos ruské emigrace k rozvoji pražské byzantologie a medievistické balkanistiky).

After the First World War, Czechoslovakia became a refuge for some Russian emigrants who, due to the generous support that the Czechoslovak government and president Tomás Garrigue Masaryk granted to the refugees within the scope of the 'Russian Project', were able to study and develop their professional education in a range of Czechoslovak research, cultural and social institutions and organizations established throughout the country. In Prague, an important emigrant workplace for humanistic-oriented researchers in medieval history, art history and Byzantine studies was the 'Seminarum Kondakovianum' - the Archaeological Institute of N. P. Kondakov, named after the Russian art historian and emigrant N. P. Kondakov. Many of Kondakov's colleagues and students carried out their interwar research activities at 'Kondakovianum'; some of them worked as researchers at other Czech research workplaces. Their activities influenced the development of Czech interwar studies of medieval history and art history and contributed to the development and specialization of disciplines such as Balkan studies, Byzantine studies and art history.
