Belarusians in Buffalo Grove near Chicago protest the government in Belarus during the 2020–2021 Belarusian protests[1]

Belarusians in Chicago are an ethnic group in the Chicagoland area.

History

[edit]

The first Belarusians to arrive in Chicago emigrated around 1900. During and after the Russian Revolution many white émigrés came to the United States, including those from Belarus. By 1930, there were around 25,000 Belarusians living in Chicago[2] In the late 1940s through the 1950s between 5,000 and 10,000 Belarusians immigrated to the Chicago area.[3] Recent immigrants are concentrated around Wheeling, Illinois, near Chicago.

During the 2020–2021 Belarusian protests, the Chicago community protested publicly[4] and Belarusian Chicagoans organized a photo exhibition about the protests.[5]
