Russians in Lebanon are people of Russian origin residing in Lebanon. Most of them are Russian women married to Lebanese men who took off to study in Russia during the Communism wave in the 1970s and 1980s. Most of the older Russian generation resides with their families in the South of Lebanon. There are a few restaurants and Russian food stores in Lebanon but many Russian women have learnt to prepare Lebanese meals. The Russian community in Lebanon has a church where the community gathers to practice Orthodox mass on Sundays and it is located in Mazraa, Beirut.

The Russian Center for Science and Culture (RCSC) plays a prominent role in the Russian-speaking community of Lebanon.[1]
