Abstract
This article examines the attempts made by Russian émigré activists in inter-war Europe to educate Russian refugee children in a network of national Russian schools. This formed an important aspect of the émigré elite's mission of ‘saving’ Russian culture abroad as well as their attempts to prevent assimilation. It is argued that although these schools gave the opportunity of education to thousands of vulnerable and marginalised children, the network thrived mainly due to support from outside actors, in particular the Czechoslovak state. The evidence does not support the argument that the majority of Russian refugees in the 1920s shared an obsession with Russianness, but instead could often be flexible and pragmatic where their children were concerned.
