Summary/Abstract: Migration, loss of home, and issues of coexistence and integration are currently pressing issues and appear to be important and self-supporting themes for processing in works of art. The author of the text focuses on a case study of the experiences of emigrants from post-Soviet republics in the Czech Republic through the lens of a documentary filmmaker and a second-generation emigrant at the same time. In the study, he will present Dmitry Bykov's structuralist scheme of meta-plot of Russian literature, describe his own creative process during the filming of the essayistic audiovisual trilogy Traces (2025), and place it in the context of Accented cinema from Hamid Naficy.
