The region has a long tradition of welcoming immigrants. After the WW2 immigration from Europe drove our manufacturing economy. The same happened after the end of the soviet empire, except it also drove our high tech industries. In addition the universities and research institutes have attracted many immigrants from around the world.

I would suggest that you explore these organizations and what they offer to newcomers. Contact them and ask questions. I think you'll be impressed. They can also put you in touch with community groups from your original country who will also be able to set you at ease.
