About
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...

House of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia
While 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.
30 minutes
3
Royal Palace
We 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.
30 minutes
4
Hotel Moskva
We'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?!
15 minutes
5
National Theatre
We 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.
15 minutes
6
Serbian Academy of Science and Art
We will see Belgrade University and the Academy of Sciences and Arts, and we will talk about the fate of emigrant scientists.
30 minutes
7
Nemanjina
We will visit the Gavrilo Princip square and talk about the role of the First World War and this incident's role in world history. And, of course, we will visit many places that Russian emigrants would visit a century ago. Places that still stand today and are open for us to visit!
