White Russians - a red threat?
14.99 €
Russians in Australia - this unusual topic is the subject of a new work by Sheila Fitzpatrick, a well-known Australian and American historian. After World War II, it was the Green Continent that became the new homeland for thousands of displaced people - people who during the war years were scattered across Europe and for various reasons did not want to return home to the USSR. In turn, the Australian authorities sought to solve the problem of the shortage of labor in the country, so the cooperation, while not cloudless or ideal, was still mutually beneficial: thousands of people loaded onto steamships to go to a new life.
The second flow of Russian immigrants came from Manchuria, where a vast Russian diaspora, formed during the construction of the CEL, had already lived for several decades. But as the Chinese Communists came to power, Russians were forced to leave, and Australia became a new home for many of them. These journeys were full of dramatic events, sometimes with detective twists and turns, when even "the most ordinary person was likely to tell the most unusual story of the wanderings he had experienced".
