Description This presentation dealt with a topic which seemingly did not bear relation to the topic of the conference: borders and its transformation. The main question of the paper was how people, who were forced (or decided) to leave their homeland after the soviet invasion in 1968, perceived their new home in the Austrian capital. This group of people (at least some of their members who successfully integrated into Austrian society) served as an example whereon psychological aspects of emigration and following integration were displayed. What “home” meant for Czechs living in Vienna and where it was? Was it really across the border?
