| Summary: | Following the end of the Greek Civil War in 1949, approximately 75,000 political refugees were relocated across the emerging Eastern Bloc. Their exodus from Greece was entangled with the construction of the Cold War dichotomy, while their itinerary challenges dominant perceptions surrounding the geographies of postwar population movements. This article examines the evolution of a hybrid Greek Popular Republic and explores how the refugee ecosystem was related to reconstruction priorities, how it crossed paths with other itineraries of human mobility, and how it remained a contested topic in Greek national politics. |
