Russian Anzacs in Australian History by Elena Govor gives voice to a part of Australian cultural history that has remained silent until now. Extraordinarily, it was men born in the former Russian Empire who constituted the most numerous group in the First Australian Imperial Force, after those of Anglo or Celtic background—almost one thousand Russian Anzacs.

This book explores the history of Russian multiethnic communities in Australia and passionately rediscovers ties, formerly severed, between the children and grandchildren of Russian Anzacs and their Russian past.
