100 years since the arrival of the first transport of Czechoslovaks to Soviet Kyrgyzstan
April 05, 2025 | Buried Hopes - documentary (2025) | Expedition Kyrgyzstan
In the spring of 1925, hundreds of our compatriots traveled thousands of miles in harsh conditions to the remote steppes in the foothills of the Shan Mountains. Among them was the then three-year-old Alexander Dubček. Hoping for a better tomorrow in a backward corner of the Soviet empire, today's Kyrgyzstan, they built a prosperous commune "Interhelpo". Their success, however, was cruelly redeemed by illness, death and the growing Stalinist terror. And it is on the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the Czechoslovaks in present-day Bishkek - April 24, 2025 - that we will premiere our new documentary film from the expedition in their footsteps, Buried Hopes.
