"But don't expect us to welcome them with a flag or a fanfare." Reemigration to normalized Czechoslovakia between 1968-1989

This bachelor thesis focuses on certain aspects of re-emigration to Czechoslovakia in the years 1968-1989. Its main aim is to demonstrate how the returnees were treated after they had come back to the Czechoslovak territory. Based on the materials produced by the State Security Service which are available in the Archive of the Security Forces the thesis analyses the State Security Service's view of this group of people. Using the period press and the television and radio broadcasting it strives to uncover the media image of re-emigrants and the main purpose of their presentation in the media. Besides that, it presents the fates of four specific people who returned to Czechoslovakia at that time showing some aspects of their life after coming back home. This part proceeds from the narrations for Paměť národa [the Memory of the Nation] and from the documents that the State Security Service produced about them
