- Abstract
- The article discusses the problems of adaptation of Russian immigrants moving from China to Australia in the post-war period. In the second half of the 1950s the wave of migration, which peaked in 1957 and 1962, brought to Australia fifteen thousand Russians that belonged (or, alternatively, whose parents did) to a generation that had left Russia in the wake of the 1917 turmoil and had moved to China. The author analyzes the circumstances and conditions of their entering and living in Australia, paying special attention to the adaptation problem. She argues that although most immigrants of that wave, being well educated and exposed to cosmopolitan influences, adapted to new conditions more easily than earlier immigrants, still they had to face language, employment, and other problems. The particularity of their case is the focus of the article.
