"White Russians, Red Peril"

A Cold War History of Migration to Australia

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the early years of a disunited Russian-Australian community and how Australian-Soviet intelligence agencies attempted to track and influence them. While anti-Communist Russians dreamed a war of liberation would overthrow the Soviet regime, a dissident minority admired its achievements and thought of returning home.
