Abstract
This paper is devoted to an important chapter in the history of Russian inter-war emigration to Czechoslovakia, which are the activities of the Plamja publishing house. This was a crucial institution of Russian exile and its activities are the key to understanding this phenomenon.
The publishing house's activities have only been summarised previously and there is a shor- tage of more detailed and critical analysis. However, this is impossible without an analysis of the role of its leading figure, professor of Charles Uni- versity, Jevgenij Alexandrovič Ljackij.
Materials from the Literary Archive of the Memorial of National Literature, where Ljackij's materials are kept, including the archive of the Plamja publishing house, and also available articles on this topic, were used to execute this study.
