Association of Belarusians in Great Britain

After the end of World War II, several thousand ethnic Belarusians landed in Britain.

The ranks were further swelled by arrival of so-called ‘displaced persons’ who found themselves outside Belarus during the war.

[1] In 1946 the Association of Belarusians in Great Britain was established, with Dr. Vincent Žuk-Hryškievič as its chair.

It became the first organization of the Belarusian diaspora established by the wave of emigrants from Belarus after World War II.

[3] With the support of the association, the Anglo-Belarusian Society was established in 1954 with the aim to promote Belarusian-British contacts.
