The first wave of Russian emigration was a social phenomenon. Cut off from its roots for many years, Russia managed to keep its ancestral traditions and cultural values.
After the October Revolution in 1917, a considerable part of the Russian intelligentsia emigrated from Russia which influenced the social life of Europe and the newly independent states that emerged on the map of Europe after World War 1 (including Czechoslovakia and the Republic of Latvia). Russian emigration in Czechoslovakia and the Republic of Latvia in the 1920- 30s contributed to and influenced the development of Czechoslovak and Latvian science, culture and various areas of public life.
