The most important places in Uruguay with a strong presence of people of Russian descent are:
There is a small Russian presence in Montevideo, where there can be found the only Russian Orthodox church in Uruguay.
Also among the Jewish Uruguayan community there are some people of Russian-Jewish descent. [3]
In the 2020s, hundreds of Russian immigrants have applied for Uruguayan residency, far more than in the entire decade before the COVID pandemic.

All of them consider that in Uruguay there are three differentials that explain the rise of Russian immigration: freedom, peace, and political stability. [4]
Uruguay, officially the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, is a country in South America. It shares borders with Argentina to its west and southwest and Brazil to its north and northeast, while bordering the Río de la Plata to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast. It is part of the Southern Cone region of South America. Uruguay covers an area of approximately 181,034 square kilometres (69,898 sq mi) and has a population of around 3.4 million, of whom nearly 2 million live in the metropolitan area of its capital and largest city, Montevideo.
The history of Uruguay comprises different periods: the pre-Columbian time or early history, the Colonial Period (1516–1811), the Period of Nation-Building (1811–1830), and the history of Uruguay as an independent country (1830-present).

San Javier (Сан-Хавьер) is a town situated on the east bank of the river Río Uruguay in the Río Negro Department of Uruguay.
