Summary/Abstract: A part of Russian émigré philosophers in Czechoslovakia played a significant role in forming the specific synthetic phenomenon of Czechoslovak philosophy, connecting Czech-speaking, German-speaking, Russian, Slovak and some French and Polish philosophers active in Czechoslovakia. West-focused Russian philosophers, mainly adherents of St. Petersburg Neo-Kantianism school enhanced Czech philosophers with the missing dimension of theoretical philosophy and solid theoretical foundations for practical philosophy. Furthermore, they mediated the co-operation of Czech- and German-speaking philosophers and helped to create the connection with philosophical schools in Germany. On the other hand, they were influenced by Czechoslovak environment, mainly by T. G. Masaryk. The most important individuals and their impact are described.
