With the Soviet Union and Australia as enemies, skepticism surrounding the immigrants' avowed anti-communism introduced new hardships and challenges. This book examines Russian immigration to Australia in the late 1940s and 1950s, both through their own eyes and those of Australia's security service (ASIO), to whom all Russian speakers were persons of interest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47889934876823,"sku":"9781666945010","price":4667.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781666945010.webp?v=1781178262","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/russians-in-cold-war-australia-9781666945010","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
