To a great extent, the mythification of Russian exile culture is a result of the absence of any reliable scientific in-depth description of the history of Russian emigration for a number of decades. The articles in this collection aim to reconstruct Russian exile culture in all its layers and diversity. Specific examples and facts are used to outline and open the mechanisms which, in essence, are mythological and which created the mysterious "Russian Atlantis" of the 20th century. Paradoxically, it is this aspect of researching myths pertaining to exile that makes it possible to expose the reality of the historical archipelago in which the Russian-European culture existed during the 20th century.
