Looking for Russian Expats in Bulgaria?

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.

Obviously, embarking on expat life in Bulgaria is not only about packing boxes and getting some paperwork done. The regular exchange with your Russian compatriots is also an important aspect of the expat experience and can help you get accustomed to the Bulgarian culture and people. InterNations helps you meet and interact with other Russians in Bulgaria, living in Sofia, Plovdiv, Burgas and many other places across the country. Just take a look at our group ofRussians in Sofia.

So, if you should ever feel like speaking your mother tongue, finding out where to shop for Russian food, or chatting about your favorite team’s latest match, join the Russian InterNations Community:

• Browse our high-quality expat network to find like-minded expatriates from Russia in Bulgaria.
• Receive and share advice in our Bulgaria Expat Forums – e.g. how to find a nanny speaking your kids’ native tongue or where to shop for borscht in Sofia...
• Browse the InterNations Places database for Bulgaria to find institutions like the nearest Russian embassy and many others.

From the foothills of Stara Planina to Sofia Valley, location of Bulgaria's capital, we’ll get you in touch with helpful and friendly Russian expats in Bulgaria.

Additionally, you are cordially invited to participate in our regular expat events and activities taking place in Bulgaria. Our events cover various interests and range from a small expat dinner to enjoy the traditional Bulgarian sarma, to big expat get-togethers with hundreds of guests in Sofia's top locations. You may also join one of our expat excursions for a weekend trip to visit Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, countless archaeological and architectural reserves, and other impressive landmarks across Bulgaria.

This way, our events and activities are a very nice occasion to meet fellow expats from Russia and around the world in a casual atmosphere. Interested? Sign up for membership and you’ll soon be welcomed with a warm Privet from our Russians living in Bulgaria!
