Czech scholars in exile, 1948-1989
Kostlán, Antonín
Czechoslovakia in the years 1948-1989, represented one of the countries of the Soviet power bloc where the development of research was in many ways supported by the country's government, but at the same time subjected to various restrictions and strong political pressure. The paper focuses on the main characteristic features of the emigration of scientists and intellectuals in the period of the communist regime and presents the results of an analysis of departure of the workers of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences to exile. It tries to estimate the overall extent of this emigration, deliberates about the further careers of exile scholars and introduces an attempt of exile typology.

Czech scientists in exile: Science vs. music
Závěta, Karel
Basing on the biographies of 100 Czech scientists who achieved eminent recognition for their scientific activities either before or during their exile, we analyze those cases where a decision had been made between pursuing career in science or in music in favour of the former one and music only remained their hobby. A decisive majority of these scientists worked in the field of exact sciences.
