Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

This study is dedicated to the issue of Czech and Slovak exile in the post-war Spain. Through discourse analysis of the main representatives of exile, it analyses their reflection on Franco's Spain and on the evolution of international situation.

Apart from the studies by Jozef Cieker, Štefan Glejdura and Bohdan Chudoba published in Spain, the article is based on the memories of Slovak students, as well as archival documents. With the use of the comparative method, it studies the relations between the exiles, interpreting them in the context of the Cold War.
