This paper attempts to analyse the perception of social risks vis-a-vis changing situation of Czechoslovakia inthe context of European development. Czechoslovakia was supposed to be only a transit country offering just a temporary resort for refugees coming from Germany and Austria. The other refugees were refused as unwelcome economic immigrants. Czechoslovak aidto refugees represented solidarity with people persecuted by the Nazi regime which was considered a threat to Czechoslovak statehood. But this solidarity was limited. The government implemented various legislative measures that were meant to prevent potential unwelcome consequences of immigration. Their primary goal was to protect domestic labour force. The paper analyses the connection between the immigration and some new trends of social policy in the time of Great Depression. Detailed analysis would reveal striking parallels of immigration policies and patterns of different periods.
