InterNations - A Place for Russians in Sydney

Privet to all of our Russians in Sydney! Are you interested in getting to know fellow Russian expats in Sydney? Are you looking for advice from other Russians, e.g. which bars in Sydney will broadcast your favorite team’s upcoming match or where in town to go for borscht?

You are cordially invited to be part of InterNations Sydney. Among the members of our international expat network, there is also a vibrant circle of Russian expats, coming from Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Saint Petersburg and all regions of Russia.

Why Russian expats move abroad (& how they like it)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our Russian members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

Pursue your hobbies with amazing new friends

Do you want to continue pursuing your hobbies — or discover new ones — while living abroad? You can do that easily in our InterNations Groups, which offer activities based on a wide range of interests. Groups are hosted by dedicated Consuls with at least one activity each month. They organize everything from dinners to sightseeing to board game nights. For example, you can enjoy nature with the Outdoors Group, share your love of music with the Jazz Group, or go on an adventure with the Boat Trips Group. There’s something for everyone!
