		Petrov was ‘stumbling helplessly’, the glare of flashlights exposed ‘her flailing white-gloved hands’ and, as she disappeared onto the plane the last thing that Betty saw was ‘a white hand clutching at her little blue hat in a futile, feminine gesture’.

	The Lovers The Outcasts (news) with James Cumes on AuthorsDen
		The Lovers The Outcasts is a historical echo: the story of the Petrov affair that transfixed Australia in the 1950s and, in an era of anti-communist hysteria, contributed to making Liberal Party hero Robert Menzies the longest serving prime minister in Australian history.
		The affair had all the elements to fascinate what was then an isolated culture: Soviet spies, a beautiful woman in the shape of Evdokia (Eva) Petrov, and scandalous accusations aimed at the highest reaches of the Australian government.
		Petrov had not told his wife of his intentions and members of the Soviet secret police were sent to fetch her home.

		The Petrovs arrived in Australia in early 1951, he as third secretary in the Soviet embassy, she as an embassy accountant.
		The Petrov affair has had a cardinal place in Australian political history, not least because of claims by figures on the left that it was a conspiracy between Menzies and the intelligence services to influence the outcome of the 1954 federal election, which the conservative and staunchly anti- Communist Menzies government won.
		The Petrovs were initially kept out of sight at a "safe house" in Palm Beach, north of Sydney, where Michael Thwaites worked with them as ghost writer for their autobiography, Empire of Fear (1956).

	Ari on the web: Old Parly House
		The climax to the Petrov Affair was the dramatic struggle at Sydney airport as Evdokia Petrov was about to return to an uncertain fate in Moscow after her husband's defection a fortnight earlier.
		The common view is that Mrs Petrov was being forcibly taken home by two burly KGB Agents as a large crowd of protestors gathered, and that she at the time was attempting to claim asylum.
		The exhibition - based on archival information released - suggests that Mrs Petrov was in fact a willing passanger to Moscow, and the KGB agents were there to protect her from the crowd, whom she felt were hostile toward her due to the dynamics of the Cold War.

		The Petrov Affair burst on to the Australian political landscape on 3 April 1954 when Vladimir Petrov defected to ASIO carrying Soviet intelligence documents in return for a $10,000 in cash and Australian nationality.
		Petrov did not defect until April 1954, but the dossiers on the 'traitors' and others had been prepared in anticipation during the course of the early 1950s.
		Petrov was actually a coding clerk, but he had himself accepted as a KGB Colonel in charge of a local spy ring although the improbability of this was emphasised by his lack of English and his not having been trained in a Soviet spy school.

		When Chen, a 37-year-old political affairs officer at China’s consulate in Sydney, approached the government, his claims were, on the face of it, quite explosive.
		Unlike Chen, Petrov was embraced by the conservative government of the day, led by Sir Robert Menzies.
		In return for handing over a few dubious Soviet documents, Petrov and his wife Evdokia were given the equivalent of $10,000—an enormous sum of money in those days—political asylum, new identities and lifetime protection.
