Born in China into a traditional Russian family, Galina endured a difficult time under Japanese occupation, living under Soviet rule following liberation by the Soviet Army. Although the young lived against the backdrop of war, they still managed to study, work and fall in love.
In 1957 Galina and her family migrated to Australia and integrated into Australian life. Working life was punctuated by a full social life, as well as an intense cultural commitment.
