Belgrade: The White Emigration in Serbia in the Wake of the Russian Revolution

Highlights
After the Bolshevik revolution, between 1 to 2 million people left Russia over three years. Up to a hundred thousand ended up in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. This influx of people certainly wasn't trivial for a country with a small population. Russian emigration certainly left a very notable mark in the capital city of Belgrade. Was it a good or bad mark? Let's walk around, observe and figure it out for ourselves.
Why did most Russian emigrants settle here? What are Nansen passports and why are they being mentioned again today? How did Serbia dare to do what even stronger countries never would - to host a fully-trained and even partially-weaponised army of another country? Let’s find out! And while we do, let's try to solve a challenging question - how would you organise such an army in exile in a way that it would not:
- overthrow anyone,
- conquer parts of the country,
- or starve to death.
That's what makes it such a wonderful country! Join us!
Itinerary
Holy Trinity Church
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeWe will walk to the Russian church where Baron Wrangel is buried.House of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeWhile walking through a picturesque, formerly royal park, we will look for a "Russian footprint" in the city's architecture: we will see the Serbian Parliament and the buildings of the post office, the General Staff and ministries. We will talk about the contribution of Russian architects to Belgrade's current appearance and why this is not acknowledged quite so straightforwardly.Royal Palace
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeWe will pass by the Royal Palaces and the monument to Nicholas II. And this is a wonderful opportunity to talk about the special relationship between these two dynasties.Hotel Moskva
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeWe'll take a walk down a street that used to be filled with craft workshops and is now taken over by designers. In the luxurious interiors of the "Moskva" Hotel, we'll have a coffee and try the "Moskva" and "Aurora" cakes, prepared according to a half-century-old recipe. And while we're there, why not take a peek at Belgrade's beau monde?!National Theatre
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeWe will walk to the National Theatre, where Russian ballerinas performed and scenic designers, choreographers, and directors worked. We will learn about "street songs" and find out who is worth remembering with kind words whenever you hear a choir singing in Serbia.Serbian Academy of Science and Art
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeWe will see Belgrade University and the Academy of Sciences and Arts, and we will talk about the fate of emigrant scientists.Nemanjina
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeWe will visit the Gavrilo Princip square and talk about the role of the First World War and this incident's role in world history.
