The first BarCamp in the post-Soviet space was held in Kiev in 2007. It gathered more than 300 participants from Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Poland and other countries.

The Kiev BarCamp was followed by BarCamp Baltics in Riga (February 2008) and BarCamp Caucasus in Tbilisi (June 2008). The first BarCamp in Yerevan was held in April 2009.  Last year’s gathering brought together over 2000 participants. -0-
