The article focuses on the love Estonians abroad have for their country of origin, compatriots, and people with different ethnic backgrounds. The research material consists of interviews, essays, and two novels. The interviews have mainly been collected from the Second World War refugees and their descendants in Canada, the USA, Australia, and Europe.
