About Us

The Russian Club in Sydney was founded on February 20, 2024 by Russian emigrants who arrived in Australia after the October Revolution of 1917 and the Russian Civil War.

The first chairman of the club for 6 years, from 1924 to 1930, was A. I. Starshinov, he was replaced and headed the club for more than 10 years, until 1941, by G. A. Davidenkov. Several addresses changed at the club, renting premises in the center of Sydney, on Pitt Street, then on George Street, until the board bought a place for the club at Strathfield station, 10-15 minutes from the city center. There, the club was first located in an old building, and by the mid-90s, when a multi-storey building was built on this site, the Russian Club received premises on the ground floor and an underground garage.
