Anotace: The terms ‘return migration’ or ‘re-emigration’ deal with the return of the

diaspora to the country of origin and are therefore full of nationalistic
perspective. These terms can be useful in the case of a diasporic return to
the country of origin, however, the use of the term ‘ethnic return migration’
should be clarified as well becaus migration of diasporic descendants
(to the country of origin of their ancestors) by strategic, rational and
pragmatic use of their ethnic disposition (i.e. passports of their ancestors
with written nationality) should also be looked into. Indeed, term ethnic
return migration expresses that in the case of some diasporic descendants
their ethnic origin might be lost and the diasporic identification questioned
hence their migration to the country of origin of their ancestors could be
analysed as mobility for material or economic benefit. In this article I will
analyse the migration of diasporic descendants from West Ukraine and
South Moldova to find out whether they incline more to return migration/
re-emigration or to ethnic return migration.
