The article deals with the phenomenon of international migration from the countries of the former Soviet Bloc to Western European countries which has appeared after the collapse of the Communist régimes in Eastern Europe, with its recent trends and corresponding problems. Special attention is devoted to labour migration in Central Europe; refugee problems in this part of the Continent are also examined separately. Various factors that may influence future development of international migration from East to West are also briefly discussed.
