The article is devoted to the political activities of Russian emigrants in Australia during the Cold War. The author focuses on the history of the Australian Department of the National Labor Union (NTU) during the sharp escalation of international tensions associated with the Korean War of 1950–1953. The source material for the article is the archives of the USA and Germany, primarily ego documents. The methodological basis of the study approaches characteristics of historical anthropology. The author proves that Australia's remoteness from the main "front" of the Cold War, which was in Europe, left a strong imprint on the activities of anti-communist groups on the Green Continent.
