Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of approaches to assessing the number of Russian-speaking communities in Australia. The Russian-speaking community in Australia was formed under the influence of various waves of migration, differing in the degree of integration into the local society. Thus, six stages of migration to Australia can be distinguished from the end of the 19th century to the present day, which have contributed their own characteristics to the formation of the Russian-speaking community. An analysis of current Russian and Australian statistics made it possible to compare information on migration flows between countries and to identify features and shortcomings of accounting for donor and recipient countries. The results of Australian national censuses make it possible to compensate for some shortcomings in the current accounting of migration processes. The identification of key features that characterize the Russian-speaking communities in Australia made it possible to estimate the size of their main parts. Such signs are: geographical identity (birth on the territory of Russia), linguistic identity (Russian language), religious identity (Orthodoxy), ethnic identity (Russian origin).
