During the summer, the Slovak ambassador to Russia Ľubomír Rehák visited several places connected with the history of Czechoslovak legionnaires in Russia at the end of the First World War. The legions that were evacuated from the eastern front of the First World War to the newly formed Czechoslovakia along the Trans-Siberian railway were drawn into the Russian civil war on side of the legal government, which did not agree with the Bolsheviks coup.
