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.

Our community in Riga is also very active offline.

These activities are a casual way to get to know expats from Russia in your local community as well as Russians in Latvia nationwide. Interested?
