Over 20,000 ethnic Russians migrated to Australia after World War II – yet we know very little about their experiences. Some came via China, others from refugee camps in Europe.

Many preferred to keep a low profile in Australia, and some attempted to ‘pass’ as Polish, West Ukrainian or Yugoslavian. They had good reason to do so: to the Soviet Union, Australia’s resettling of Russians amounted to the theft of its citizens, and undercover agents were deployed to persuade them to repatriate. Australia regarded the newcomers with wary suspicion, even as it sought to build its population by opening its door to more immigrants.

Making extensive use of newly discovered Russian-language archives and drawing on a lifetime’s study of Soviet history and politics, award-winning author Sheila Fitzpatrick examines the early years of a diverse and disunited Russian-Australian community and how Australian and Soviet intelligence agencies attempted to track and influence them. While anti-Communist ‘White’ Russians dreamed a war of liberation would overthrow the Soviet regime, a dissident minority admired its achievements and thought of returning home.

Recenzijos

Cette rétrospective dense et compliquée, qui combine une réflexion sur les identités dans leur environnement ą la fois extérieur et dans la fabrication du lien communautaire, les suivant dans le mouvement des bouleversements locaux et de la grande histoire, sources de nouveaux déplacements et refondations, relčve in fine dune véritable performance. Lanalyse est affranchie de tout jugement sur un sujet comportant pourtant une part dabīme, tant elle est mobilisée par lintention primordiale de reconstituer lunivers mental, culturel qui a animé les grands perdants de lhistoire. Elle est le fait dune spécialiste de lhistoire sociale de lURSS qui, finalement, est allée explorer, ą lencontre de ses affinités personnelles, souligne-t-elle, les destins de ceux que la révolution avait rejeté sur lautre bord, les scrutant avec la mźme impartialité, la mźme exigence et les mźmes nuances quelle avait mises dans ses investigations au cur du xxe sičcle soviétique. White Russians, Red Peril représente une contribution substantielle ą lhistoire du monde de lexil russe dans sa longue durée oł sexprime comme un enseignement la grande voix historienne de Sheila Fitzpatrick.
