Summary/Abstract: The memoirs of the ethnographer Vladimir Kabo, Doroga v Avstraliiu (New York, 1995), describe his childhood in Moscow, his experience as a soldier in the latter part of World War II, his studies at Moscow State University, his years in prison and labour camp, and his later life as a scholar investigating the anthropology of the Australian aborigines. The Jewish motif is strongly felt throughout his story. Links with Abram Terts’s (Andrei Siniavsky’s) Spokoinoi nochi and I. Grekova’s Svezho predanie emerge in his account of his denunciation and arrest in 1949.
