Dear Dr. Foley,
Thanks for your comment.
I went through the Russian segment of the Internet to gather some scholars’ opinions on the White Paper. I may assure you that Russian scholars, who live in Russia, have a relatively similar perspective to mine.

Even more interesting would be to have a relatively dispassionate perspective on Australia from a Russian academic or commentator.

Given Australia’s involvement in illegal wars in the Middle East, vilification of Muslins and, of course, continuing illegal maltreatment of hundreds of refugees, it’s hard to imagine Australia’s image is not in urgent need of improvment.
