The article deals with the history of creation and activities of Belarusian scientific and educational organizations in Moscow and Petrograd. These organisations were established in 1918 by the staff of the Belarusian National Commissariat with the help of prominent Russian scientists and scholars, among whom were world-famous academics and professors. The most notable of these Belarusian organizations in the Soviet capital were the Belarusian People’s University, the Belarusian Scientific and Cultural Society, and the Belarusian Free Economic Society. They became the heralds and first milestones on the way to founding of the Belarusian State University and the Belarusian Academy of Sciences in Minsk.
