In New Zealand
Russian in New Zealand.
Russian speakers in New Zealand come not only from Russia but from across the former Soviet states (Ukraine, Kazakhstan, the Baltics and Central Asia), for whom Russian is often a shared second language. Communities are based mainly in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
Common scenarios

- Healthcare and specialist appointments
- Immigration NZ and residence or partnership applications

Cultural & dialect notes
Matched to the right variety.
Russian is widely used as a shared language across several former-Soviet communities, which can help reach a speaker whose less-common first language is hard to source, but we always check whether the person would prefer their own first language (for example Ukrainian) where one is available.
