https://doi.org/10.20913/BRM-3-3-9
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to provide a brief analysis of the main Russian language periodicals published in the Commonwealth of Australia at the beginning of the 21st century. These newspapers, magazines, and their websites reflect the sentiments of the Russian diaspora in all its diversity and multilayered character: from post-war migrants to recent immigrants from Russia. The article explores the differences in publishers' approaches and the influence of their biographies and personalities on their content, as well as the dependence of publishing projects on funding sources. It notes that journalists, Russian language teachers, and writers are the most active in publishing.
