The Russian-speaking community in Namur
Namur's Russian-speaking community includes asylum seekers and refugees processed through the Fedasil and CGRS system, as well as established residents from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and other former Soviet states who have settled in Wallonia. Namur, as the regional administrative capital, concentrates key asylum and social welfare institutions that serve Russian speakers across the province.
The outbreak of the war in Ukraine in 2022 has led to increased flows of Russian-speaking refugees - including some Russians who oppose the war - arriving in Belgium. Namur's CPAS and Fedasil centres have had to accommodate this surge, creating greater demand for professional Russian interpretation across healthcare, social services and judicial proceedings in the city.

Certified Russian interpreters for CHR Namur, CPAS, Fedasil, CGRS and Walloon courts. Russian-speaking nationals from Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
Available interpretation modes
- Liaison (on-site) : The interpreter attends in person and works consecutively. The preferred mode for CGRS hearings, court sessions and medical consultations where physical presence and body language are essential to the exchange.
- Remote (Zoom/Teams) : Video interpreting for online administrative procedures or institutional meetings with Russian-speaking partners. Same quality, no travel logistics.
- Telephone : Immediate support for urgent situations - emergency hospital admissions, first contacts with social services or police interviews - when there is no time to organise on-site attendance.
- Consecutive : The speaker pauses after each passage while the interpreter renders the message. Suited to formal hearings, asylum proceedings and diplomatic encounters where accuracy takes precedence over speed.
