[edit] Gary Nash

Some info deleted from Harbin Russians that should be integrated into this article:

Igor Ivashkov (Gary Nash) escaped from Russia to China as a child and, escaping the rise of Chinese Communism, moved from there to Australia. He wrote a memoir 'The Tarasov Saga' about his experiences.

As an aside, integrating Harbin Russians into this article means that the deletion of that info wouldn't have been necessary in the first place ... cab 08:59, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eluosi-zu or Russians in China?

In the lead, the article refers to Eluosi-zu, or Russians with Chinese citizenship. Later on the article refers to Russian traders in Beijing, which seems to infer that these people are Eluosi-zu. The article needs to be rewritten to make clear that the Russian traders in Beijing are not Eluosi-zu. In fact, the article could even be split into two, one for "Russians in China", another for "Eluosi-zu". The two are conceptually quite distinct. Bathrobe (talk) 02:50, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
