Minsk - Post Report Question and Answers
What are some typical ways to socialize, either with local people or with other expatriates? Are there groups or clubs that you can recommend?
Not much due to Covid and small expat community. - Oct 2021
We socialize with other Embassy expats. The QSI-Minsk school has also been a good way to meet other expat parents. InterNations has been recommended by expats. - Apr 2019
If you don't make friends with anyone else in the expat community (or don't speak Russian well), it's likely to be non-existent. However, it's really dependent upon you. We have made some friends here and make an effort to get together with them on a somewhat regular basis, which helps. Given how small the expat community is here, especially with how few US employees the embassy has, you have to make an effort. You can't sit back and wait for a social life here. - Oct 2011
