Memoirs of Galina follows the true story of Galina Kuchina, A Russian Australian from China.

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.

Galina Kuchina is founding president of the Solouhin Literary Society, and recipient of the Meritorious Service Award (Government of Victoria) and the Service to the Russian Community Award (Russian Ethnic Representative Council). Galina has published several books in Russia and remains a regular contributor to various literary magazines.
