Visitors to the island of Tubabao, near Guiuan, Eastern Samar, will find the usual features of a small town. A barangay with a few houses, beaches, a market, and also resorts offering lodging and other activities for tourists. If they look hard enough, they will find a small plaque somewhere in town, commemorating a historical event.

Seventy years ago, 6,000 Russian refugees escaped their homes and found sanctuary in the Philippines. They made Tubabao their temporary home at a time when no other nation would take them in. This is their story.
