"Russian scare" in Pacific in late 1800s
Hi there, you might be interested in creating this article. In the 1880s & 1890s Australian colonies & New Zealand armed themselves against what was later called the "Russian scares" : fears of Russia controlling their sealanes and even invading. My personal theory is that this fear was built up by British arms suppliers rather than any political facts, but you seem in a position to write a balanced article if you're interested - we don't hear much from the Russian point of view on this. regards.

- Hi Rod, I am currently working on User:Russavia/Australia–Russia relations, and the relations between Australia and the Russian Empire were indeed basically based around the paranoia surrounding innocent visits by Russian ships to the colonial shores. It would be nice if I could find something concerning Russian visits out West, but as usual Australian history is all east-coast centric ;) Some of the sources I am using, such as http://www.elena.id.au have some great information on that subject. But the "Russian scare" is indeed worthy of its own article, but to be honest, I don't know when I would have a chance to get around to writing it myself, but if others were to create it, I can be called upon to provide information from the Russian perspective (sources) if required.

Quite a lot you have there! I will take a look and see if I can get a hold of them, and email them to you if I can. bibliomaniac15 18:53, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for that, I've sent you an email so you have my email address for ease if they helps any. BTW, advertising you have access to Newsbank, could be a dangerous exploit for yourself, as you have just found out. Cheers, --Russavia 19:17, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- Heh...It's all right. It may be tedious, but at least when you have a black belt in Google-fu it is quite simple. bibliomaniac15 19:33, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
