In the general climate created by the Cold War, the Canadian government welcomed refugees from the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe with open arms. It offered generous reception to thousands of Hungarians fleeing the 1956 Soviet invasion, to Czechoslovakians escaping the repression following the 1968 "Prague Spring," to Poles fearing persecution for participation in the Solidarity movement, and to Soviet Jews propelled to leave by state anti-Semitism
