 As the Polish consulate was not interested in the problems of Belarusians, emigrants began to create associations.In 1934 "The Belarusian Cultural and Educational Association" was founded, in 1937 — "Belarusian Association "Culture"", and "Iwan Luckiewicz Belarusian Library" in 1938 — "The Belarusian Cultural Association "Belavezh"" ("Yakub Kolas" after the war).In 1939 the combination of all these unions created the "Belarusian Federation of associations in Argentina", to which later two more new associations joined.
