Regular socializing with fellow Russians is an essential part of expat life and helps getting accustomed to the Swiss way of life and mentality. InterNations helps you connect and meet up with other Russians in Switzerland, residing in Zurich, Geneva, Bern and many other places throughout the country. Just take a look at our group of Russians in Zurich or Russians in Geneva.

  • Search the InterNations Places database for Switzerland to get information on institutions from your home country, including the Russian embassy.

From the mountain resort of Zermatt to Interlaken, the outdoor and action sports capital of Switzerland, we’ll help you connect with supportive and friendly Russian expats in Switzerland.
