Abstract
The History of “White Russian” emigration to Tunisia.
The history of Russian emigration to Tunisia started in the winter of 1920-1921, when 33 ships of the Russian Imperial Squadron with 6,000 refugees docked in Bizerte after the White Army’s defeat in the Civil War and the evacuation of the Crimea. That event marked the formation of the first Russian colony in Tunisia, resulting from the emigration of Russian members of the military who had fought against the Bolsheviks during the Civil War. Until the end of 1924, the life of this community essentially organized itself around the Russian navy. The article studies the history of this immigration and describes the various aspects of the lives of Tunisia’s “White Russian” refugees. It closely examines questions related to the presence of the Russian squadron in the Bizerte harbor, describes the lives of sailors and their families, evokes the plight of ships, etc. How did the Russians live in colonial Tunisia ? What was their place in Tunisian society ? What cultural heritage have they left ? These questions guide the author’s study of social, economic, legal, cultural, and religious problems related to their integration into the host country.
