The Russians opened the ship for public visitation in Melbourne, and more than 8, Australians visited the ship over a period of several days. After Bogatyr had left the Colony, the Sydney Morning Herald reported on 7 April that the crew of the ship had engaged in topographical surveys of the Port Jackson and Botany Bay areas, which included investigating coastal fortifications, but this did not raise any eyebrows at the time.
Anti-Russian sentiment began to take hold in the Australian media in November after the publication by The Times in London of an article which asserted that the Colonies were on the edge of a Russian invasion. The article, published on 17 September , stated that Rear Admiral Popov received instructions from the Russian Naval Minister to raid Melbourne in the event there was a Russo-English war, but noted that such a plan was unlikely due to its perception of the Russian forces being inadequate for such an attack.
The following day a parade was held, and the crew of Boyarin raised the Union Jack on its mast and fired a gun salute in honour to the British queen. After the death of Belavin, permission was given to bury him on shore, and his funeral saw the attendance of thousands of Hobart residents, and the locals donated funds to provide for a headstone on his grave.
In gratitude of the welcome and care given by the Hobart citizenry, Captain Serkov presented the city with two mortars from the ship, which still stand at the entrance to the Anglesea Barracks. Although the visits of Russian ships were of a friendly nature, the Russo-Turkish War of — was seen by Britain as part of a potential expansion plan by the Russian Empire into India , and the Australian colonies were advised to upgrade their defence capabilities.
The inadequacy of defences in the colony was seen in , when Svetlana sailed into Port Phillip Bay and the fort built had no gunpowder for its cannons to use to return a salute. William Jervois , a Royal Engineer , was commissioned to determine the defence capabilities of all colonies, with the exception of Western Australia. In his report, he was convinced that the Russian Empire would to attack South Australian shipping in an attempt to destroy the local economy. Despite the hysteria generated by the media in Melbourne, no invasion ensued.
David Syme , the proprietor of The Age , wrote in a series of editorials that the visit of the three ships was associated with a war that was threatening to engulf Britain and Russia, and that the squadron under the command of Avraamy Aslanbegov was in the Pacific in order to raid British commerce.

Newspapers wrote that Admiral Aslanbegov behaved like a varnished barbarian due to his non-acceptance of invitations, and because he preferred to stay at the Menzies Hotel , rather than the Melbourne Club or the Australian Club. John Wodehouse, 1st Earl of Kimberley , the British Secretary of State for the Colonies , defused the situation when he sent a telegraph to the government stating that relations with Russia are of a friendly character, and such newspaper reports are rendered incredible. In a letter he wrote to N. Kopylov in , he noted there was a mood of expansionism in Australia, particularly towards New Guinea and the islands in Oceania.
This view was mirrored in a letter to Konstantin Pobedonostsev , and he expressed his willingness to provide assistance in pursuing Russian interests in the region. This opinion was mirrored by the Naval Ministry. In total, three reports were sent to Russia by Miklukho-Maklai, containing information on the growth of anti-Russian sentiment and the buildup of the military in Australia, which correlated with the worsening of Anglo-Russian relations.
Noting the establishment of coal bunkers and the fortifying of ports in Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide , he advocated taking over Port Darwin , Thursday Island , Newcastle, and Albany , noting their insufficient fortification. The Foreign Ministry considered a Russian colony in the Pacific as unlikely and military notes of the reports were only partially utilised by the Naval Ministry. The authorities in Russia appraised his reports, and in December de Giers officially advised Miklukho-Maklai that his request for the establishment of a Russian colony had been declined.
Paranoia of a Russian invasion subsided in , when Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich arrived in the Colony on board the corvette Rynda as part of celebrations of the Colonial centenary. Rynda pulled into Newcastle in the afternoon of 19 January to replenish coal supplies, becoming the first Russian naval visitor to the city. He was unable to attend due to laws of the Russian Empire which prohibited participation in State ceremonies of foreign states. HMS Nelson was late arriving in Sydney and on 26 January, the day of celebrations, the Rynda orchestra was invited to entertain the public, and the Australian media made the Grand Duke the central focus of the events.
On 30 January the Russian officers were present at the ceremony of the foundation of the new parliament building. One hundred seamen from Rynda were invited to a festival organised by the citizens of Sydney on 31 January, and the Russian and French flags were given prominence next to the Australian flag, whilst those of other nations were along the walls.
Denoting the goodwill nature of the visit, Lord Carrington in a speech said, "We welcome into the waters of Port Jackson the gallant ship Rynda , we welcome the gallant sailors who sail under the blue cross of Saint Andrew, and we especially welcome — though we are not permitted to do so in official manner — that distinguished officer who is on board, a close blood-relation of his Majesty the Tsar.
Though not permitted to offer him an official welcome, we offer him a right royal welcome with all our hearts. The visit was initially reported positively in the press, but after a few days The Age began to campaign for restricting the entry of foreign naval ships into Melbourne, and other articles described the expected war between "semi-barbarous and despotic Russia" and England.
The public, however, continued to view the presence of the Russians positively, and on 22 February the Mayor of Melbourne Benjamin Benjamin visited the ships. In , the Government in Saint Petersburg concluded Anglo-Russian relations in the Pacific to have become important enough to appoint a career diplomat to represent Russian interests in the Australian Colonies. Poutyata was an effective Consul and his reports were well read in Saint Petersburg.
Poutyata died of kidney failure following complications from pneumonia a little over a year after his arrival in Australia on 16 December , which saw Robert Ungern von Sternberg being appointed to replace him at the end of On 1 March [ O. Tsar Nicholas II viewed that "[i]t is desirable to send a cruiser".

The Russian Empire was represented at the opening of the first Australian Parliament on 1 May by Russian consul Nicolai Passek, who was based in Melbourne since the approval of his appointment by Queen Victoria on 24 March British financial and political support for the Japanese during the Russo-Japanese War in — caused disagreement with the British foreign policy in Australia.
The authorities in Australia were concerned that the Japanese military posed a threat to the national security of the country, and the fear existed even when Japan was an ally of the Entente Powers in World War I. During the war, as a member of the British Empire , Australia was allied with Russia. In March , after the resignation of Abaza, Peter Simonov presented himself to the Australian government as the representative of the Bolshevik government in Australia, and asked for recognition as the new Russian Consul.
Given the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk he was advised that the Australian government did not recognise the Bolsheviks, and would not recognise him as Consul. Michael Considine , Member of the House of Representatives for Barrier assumed the unrecognised role of representative of the Soviets. Izvestia reported Ramsay MacDonald had campaigned for Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on a platform which included restoring ties with the Soviet Union and hence the Soviet Union should seize upon this and "advance conditions and demand guarantees".
It was the opinion of the Australian government that the Soviet Union had been spreading propaganda in Australia, but it was unable to provide specific evidence of this being the case. The notes included a pledge by the Soviet Union to refrain from hostile propaganda, which was part of the unratified Treaty.

The Congress of Friendship and Aid to the Soviet urged the posting of Australian diplomats in the Soviet Union, and also pushed for exchanging military, air and naval missions between the two countries. Evatt , the Australian Minister for External Affairs on 4 November wrote in a secret submission to the war cabinet that the Government had received a large number of representations from interested parties since the outbreak of the Russo-German War , and that the major views in support of sending a diplomatic delegation to the Soviet Union included the necessity to provide material and moral support to the Soviet Union and to encourage its resistance against the Germans, the sharing of a common interest in policy towards Japan and the Middle East , and the potential for Australian-Soviet trade, and its importance to the Australian economy.
In —43, joint Commonwealth naval and air forces, under British commanders, were based in North Russia, while involved in convoys bringing supplies to the Soviet Union. For instance, under the code name Operation Orator , between August and November , a British-Australian air wing — including Squadron , Royal Australian Air Force , operated Handley Page Hampden torpedo bombers from bases near Murmansk , where they successfully deterred operations off North Cape by German battleships and cruisers. Slater opened the Australian Legation in Kuybyshev , the temporary seat of the Soviet government , on 2 January , and moved to Moscow on 12 August Australia was gripped in a red scare similar to that which led to McCarthyism in the United States.
During late and early , the Australian government — like most of the former Western Allies — actively opposed a Soviet land blockade of West Berlin , and took part in the Berlin airlift.
Following the outbreak of the Korean War in , Australian and Soviet foreign policy were diametrically opposed. Australia was the first country after the United States to deploy forces to Korea, under what became known as United Nations Command.
ОГЛАВЛЕНИЕ
Members on both sides of the Australian House of Representatives advocated severing diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. The defection, which became known as the Petrov Affair , was disclosed by Menzies on 13 April , the eve of the last day of Parliament before the May federal election. The revelations shocked the Australian public, which was more attuned to such things happening overseas. William Wentworth took statutory declarations from Russian and Czechoslovakian anti-communists in the crowd who had stormed the tarmac to prevent Petrova from leaving, that they had heard her say Petrova calling out in Russian "I do not want to go.
Save me", and asked Menzies to make the aircraft stop at Darwin in order to ask Petrova whether she wanted to leave Australia. In aid of Soviet preparations for its commitments to the International Geophysical Year on 29 August and in the absence of diplomatic relations, Australia sent the Soviets a note, via the British Embassy in Moscow , offering facilities in Australia for the use of the Soviets in the instance they were required.
Australia wanted to keep the Soviets out of the Antarctic but wanted to avoid international condemnation for going against the spirit of the IGY. The Australians also used the note as a ruse, albeit an unsuccessful one, to force the Soviets to recognise the Australian Antarctic Territory and hence, Australian claims over parts of the Antarctic. The Soviets gave free public access to the ship during its stay, and among the first people to visit the ship and meet with the crew was Douglas Mawson. Australian naval intelligence exploited the situation and sent two civilian agents on board the ship while it was open to the public.
It is unknown what information they would have obtained as the scientists on the ship openly shared their knowledge and demonstrated equipment to anybody who was interested, and allowed the public to wander around without obstruction. The decision was criticised by Mawson, and he made note of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation losing an opportunity to view the latest oceanographic research technology. The two countries agreed to resume diplomatic relations on 13 March and it was reported that Australia insisted on screening Soviet diplomatic personnel.
In December Skripov gave Marshall a package which she was to give to a contact in Adelaide, but the contact did not meet Marshall as planned. The package, which had already been inspected by ASIO, contained coded transmission timetables for a Soviet radio station, along with a high-speed message sender which could be attached to a radio transmitter. Two months later the Australian government produced photos of meetings between Skripov and Marshall, and sent the embassy a note declaring Skripov persona non grata for "elaborate preparations for espionage" and gave him seven days to leave the country.
The Australian government did not divulge what secrets Skripov may have been seeking, but it was reported that workers at the Woomera missile range underwent interrogation. The Soviets responded by stating that the materials released by ASIO proved nothing and were produced to hinder the development of friendly relations between the Soviet Union and Australia, and declared that Ambassador Ivan Kurdyukov , who was on sick leave in Moscow, would not return to Australia. The Australian ambassador to Moscow visited Tallinn, Estonia, on 28—30 July , effectively according de jure recognition.

Soviet authorities subsequently leaked this information on 3 August , confirmed by a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs a day later. Whitlam had neither informed nor consulted with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Willesee , who had been absent abroad, the Cabinet, Caucus, nor Parliament. In taking this controversial decision Whitlam also reneged on pre-election commitments made in correspondences to organizations representing emigrees from all three Baltic nations.
Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke arrived in Leningrad on 30 November for discussion on economics, trade and foreign policy with Mikhail Gorbachev. On 26 December , Australia recognised the Russian Federation as the successor state of the Soviet Union after the dissolution of the latter.
The project also saw the involvement of S. The investment by RusAl was the first large-scale Russian investment in the Australian economy. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
