I recently attended a meeting of senior Russian scouts in Sydney. The meeting participants came to Australia at a young age after the Second World War. Most came from Harbin or Shanghai, and some from post-war Europe. These were the two main waves of emigration of Russian people to Australia in the 40s - 60s. Differing in some ways, but also similar in some ways, both had to go through a difficult path, which was influenced by events in Russia in the first quarter of the last century. I was interested in the fate of Elena Morosoff-Martin, who said that she was born in Belgium.
