From Russian Anzacs in Australian History:

At Fremantle in 1912 two Russians of peasant background arrived from India on the sailing ship Itonus: Jackow Petroff from the village of Tokmak in the Tien Shan foothills, central Asia (now Kirghizia), and Vasily Boltinkof from Boguchar village in Voronezh province. What took them from Russia to India in the first place remains a mystery, let alone how they ended up together on the boat to Australia.
