Aleksandr Zuzenko (1884-1938), a sailor and revolutionary who lived in Australia from 1911 until his deportation to Russia in April 1919, made a return visit in 1922 as an agent of the Communist International. He was again deported and spent the rest of his career, until his death in the purges, as a Soviet sea captain. Late in his life he wrote an account of his work for the Comintern in 1920-23. This article examines that unpublished account in the light of British Home Office files. Other sources, notably the Comintern archive and the records of the Australian government, are also considered.

A New Rival State? is a unique collection of dispatches written in 1857-1917 by the Russian consuls in Melbourne to the Imperial Russian Embassy in London and the Russian Foreign Ministry in St Petersburg. Written by eight consuls, they offer a Russian view of the development of the settler colonies in the late nineteenth century and the first years of the federated Commonwealth of Australia. They cover the federalist movement, the changing domestic political situation, labour politics, the treatment of the Indigenous population, the 'White Australia' policy, Australia's defensive capacity and foreign policy as part of the British Empire. The bulk of the material is drawn from the Russian-language collection The Russian Consular Service in Australia 1857-1917, edited by Alexander Massov and Marina Pollard (2014), using documents from the archive of the Russian Foreign Ministry
