Belarusian Diaspora - Argentina

Argentina

The First organized Belarusian diaspora in Argentina appeared in the 1st half of the 20th century. It used to be one of the most numerous Belarusian diasporas abroad, counting between 10 and 20 thousand people. Almost all Belarusian immigrants of that time came to Argentina from Poland-occupied West Belarus. Unlike in other western countries, Belarusian organizations in Argentina were pro-Soviet and fell under influence of the Soviet embassy. There was a wave or repatriation to the Belarusian SSR in 1956.
