The Russian Flag returns to Jegorow Reserve after banned by Mayor Darcy Byrne

The park was named by the decision of the Ashfield council many years ago, even during the lifetime of Wadim, in honor of his services to the residents of the area. “He was a very active member of this community, the inhabitants of Haberfield knew him well. Wadim valued his Australian citizenship, but he was also proud of his Russian roots. Therefore, we have installed three flags here, including the Russian one. He was an active member of the Labor Party in this area of the city and always fought for fair treatment of people. Wadim was one of the fathers of the Australian multicultural policy of the country as a whole during the time of the Whitlam government, and it all started here in Ashfield”,- Senator Lucille McKenna.
