How do I meet people in Russia?
When we asked people living in Russia about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded:
"Expats in Russia often join clubs and activities such as language exchange groups, sports teams, and cultural events. Expats can also meet people by attending local festivals, visiting museums, or joining a local church or synagogue. Additionally, many expats find it helpful to join online forums and social media groups related to their interests, as these can be great ways to connect with other expats and locals," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Russia.
