Russian Immigrants and Anti-Communism in Cold War Australia, 1946-1966

该项目探讨了冷战期间俄罗斯移民在澳大利亚的经历。它审视了在一个反苏和反共情绪高涨的时代，当“红色”和“俄罗斯”经常被等同起来，当ASIO对俄罗斯移民社区产生了浓厚的兴趣时，作为俄罗斯人意味着什么是模糊和复杂的。该项目将通过探索影响新移民和散居者政治活动的因素，在移民和政治领域产生新的知识。该项目的预期成果包括加深对澳大利亚冷战和移民政治的了解，以及对澳大利亚人理解携带重大政治包袱的移民的重要好处。

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.
