2 3 y separately published work icon Doroga v Avstraliiu : vospominaniia The Road to Australia Vladimir Kabo , New York (City) : Effect , 1995 Z1486126 1995 single work autobiography This memoir records Russian-born ethnographer Kabo's early years and education, his time at the front in World War II and his banishment to a labour camp. Aboriginal Australians were at the centre of his life's work but he was not able to secure permission to leave his country until 1990. Buoyed by post-Perestroika visits from Australians including Oodgeroo Noonuccal he eventually began a new life in the country he had studied for so long. He was a colleague of Iris Clayton at the Institute of Aboriginal Studies in Canberra.
