Due to the Russian Civil War (1917 - 1922), many supporters of the White movement and opponents of communism went into exile. They also emigrated to Kingdom of SHS, where they arrived in several waves. The first wave took place in 1919, the largest wave represented a group of emigrants, who came after the defeat of the White Russian forces of general Pyotr Wrangel and at the end of the most important battles in 1920. Individual smaller groups were arriving until 1928 (according to some archival data even later). The Kingdom of SHS accepted between 40,000 and 70,000 Russian emigrants. The article will examine their arrival, accommodation, and ways of integration into the Yugoslav environment.
