Abstract
The article presents an annotated edition of the memoirs written by Miroslav Konupka (*1945), son of Karel Konupka (1906-1979), who was one of the only two Czechs, who lived in the Czech village of Voyvodovo in Bulgaria and who came there as "strangers", from Czechoslovakia. After having arrived to Voyvodovo in 1931, K.
Konupka established himself as a village saddler and prospered. However, in 1941, as a foreign citizen, he was forced to leave Bulgaria and return to then Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, never to come back to Voyvodovo.
In the context of Voyvodovo studies the example of K. Konupka represents up to now undescribed type of migration - migration from Czechoslovakia to Voyvovodovo, i.e. from "the mother state" to compatriot's community.
M. Konupka's memoirs are also supplemented by explanatory notes and by a short analysis of its content at the end of the text.
