Funded Activity Summary
Russian Immigrants and Anti-Communism in Cold War Australia, 1946-1966. The project explores the experience of Russian immigrants in Australia during the Cold War. It examines the ambiguity and complexity of what it meant to be Russian at a time of heightened anti-Soviet and anti-Communist sentiment, when ‘Red’ and ‘Russian’ were often equated, and when ASIO took a keen interest in the Russian migrant community. The project will generate new knowledge in the fields of immigration and politics, by exploring the factors that influence political activism for newly arrived migrants and diasporas. Expected outcomes of the project include a deepened knowledge of Australia’s Cold War and immigrant politics, and important benefits for Australian understanding of migrants who carried significant political baggage.Funded Activity Details
