About SVOY

SVOY — an international ecosystem for Russian speakers around the world. We help for those who are relocating or already living abroad: find people like you, navigate life of a new city and get help when you need it.

Worldwide

Cities and countries across multiple continents — wherever fellow expats are.

A living community

Real people on the ground, up-to-date advice, and quick mutual support.

Verified contacts

Specialists and services recommended by the community, not advertising.

Practical guides

Housing, work, healthcare, schools, banking, documents — no filler.

The city chat is full of people who went through the same thing six months before you did

What we do

For each city we gather Russian-speaking Telegram chats and practical guides: where to live, how to find work, what to know about healthcare, schools, banks and paperwork. The information comes from people who live there locally — so it there’s what you won’t find in typical overviews: real numbers, nuances, and pitfalls.

A dedicated area — SOS assistance and vetted specialists: lawyers, doctors, realtors and services trusted by the community.

The guide is written by people who actually live there: prices, neighbourhoods, and pitfalls you won’t find in standard reviews
