Abstract
This paper discusses transnational labour migration from Ukraine to Greece since the end of the Cold War. It examines the migration context, motivations, and expectations. It then discusses the actual experiences of Ukrainian migrants, in Greek society and beyond, and their visions for the future. The paper touches upon the 2008 crisis in Greece and its impact on migrants and their choices. The paper also discusses the social organisation of Ukrainian migrants in Greece, as well as identity and belonging, in a globalised world. Whereas many Ukrainian migrants continue to perceive their stay in Greece as temporary, the emergence of a Ukrainian diaspora community in Greece is imminent. The paper is based on primary research conducted by the author in greater Athens, as well as secondary sources.
