Russians in Cold War Australia, Hardback Book

Russians in Cold War Australia Hardback

Edited by Phillip Deery, Sheila Fitzpatrick

Part of the The Harvard Cold War Studies Book Series series

Hardback

Description

Russian Migrants in Cold War Australia explores the time during the Cold War when Russian displaced persons, including former Soviet citizens, were amongst the hundreds of thousands of immigrants given assisted passage to Australia and other Western countries in the wake of the Second World War.

With the Soviet Union and Australia as enemies, skepticism surrounding the immigrants’ avowed anti-communism introduced new hardships and challenges.

This book examines Russian immigration to Australia in the late 1940s and 1950s, both through their own eyes and those of Australia's security service (ASIO), to whom all Russian speakers were persons of interest.
