The present digression analyses the difficulty for Russian immigrants born in China to adapt and as a result develop an appurtenance feeling since their arrival until the end of their lives in Brazil, including the passage through elderness. The qualitative methodology was chosen to explain the concept of immigration and belongingness in order to better present the affective links with their native country, their culture, with the language, with the traditions which remain present through their lives and that grow in importance moreover during the aging process. Information has been collected about the lives of the Russians born in China as well as of their later immigration to Brazil. Interviews have also been conducted with over 70 years aged Russians with the purpose of suscitating their remembering, the reasons that motivated them to leave their native countries, the arrival in Brazil, the difficulties for adaptation, the relationship with the Russian community and with the Brazilians, their feelings towards Brazil as a native country and their affective country. The reports from the elder who have been interviewed reveal their needs to have an identity connected to their roots translating their daily effort to perpetuate their culture, their language and their traditions in a community constituted by their compatriots recreated in the country that welcomed them. This is the way that they found to keeps their remembering alive, influencing their behavior, their attitudes, their way of thinking and being presently and in the future. In order to support and provide ressonance to our study we did research in the works published by Halbwachs, Beauvoir, Anderson, Bornheim, Bosi, Ponty, Bobbio, Thompson
