It’s difficult to pinpoint how many Slavs live in Spokane County. Spokane’s Slavic residents represent all Eastern European countries, and most arrived from the Soviet Union between the late 1980s and early 2000s. But for a significant percentage of the community, the invasion is personal. Many Spokanites are feeling shock, anger and despair as they watch Russia invade Ukraine. It’s also the story of how thousands of Slavs settled in Spokane. It’s the story of the Pilgrims, who settled in Massachusetts 400 years ago. Christians, fleeing religious persecution in Europe, made the arduous trek over the Atlantic Ocean to reach America and freedom.
