It has been 40 years since Russians occupied Czechoslovakia (last Russian soldier left in June 1991) and started a 20-year long repression.

Statisticky prehled nize pouze zahrnuje Ceske obcany trvale nebo dlouhodobe zijici v cizine. Pocty jsou ziskany z Ceskych ambasad z roku 2007. Tyto cisla nejsou presne (ale stale dobre odhady), protoze Cesi trvale zijici v zahranici nejsou nuceni se zaregistrovat u lokalni Ceske ambasady.

Welcome to this new site about the Czech Republic, Czech citizens, Czech culture, and much more. The site is created exclusively by a couple living in the U.S.A. One author was born in the Czech Republic and has lived in the U.S.A. for about 10 years. The second author was born in the U.S.A. but his parents are immigrants from Czechoslovakia. Both authors speak fluent Czech and English and have much to contribute to this site.

Cheers,
