one of the most multicultural countries in the old days was the Soviet Union.Mainly in its composition was attended by representatives of the indigenous population of the state.Of course, they were in small quantities and emigrants part - students, part - the guests countries.
in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics were 15 union republics.In addition, there were autonomous republics.Despite its multi-lingual, raznolikogo people are treated with respect for every culture.At the very least, speak openly about his neglect, even if only to a small nation, was reprehensible.This offense is punishable by law.
After the collapse of the USSR was formed several new states.And the largest of the earlier of its constituent republics began to carry the name of Russia.The national composition of the country, although it has changed, it is one of the most extensive in the world.
should start with the fact that just the Russian people in the country is home to only 80%.And this includes the Cossacks and Pomerania.And if you take a closer deal with the genealogical tree of many families, it is clear that the Russian people were called due to the fact that they were faced with a choice between my mother's and father's nationality.The concept of "pure Russian blood" is now virtually non-existent, the majority of Russian are mixed Russian-Mordovian a Russian-Chuvash nation.Widely represented and descendants of the Union of Russian with the Tatars and other nationalities.
The ethnic composition consists of Russian Tatars (about 4% of the total population).This nation is the second largest in terms of population in Russia after Russian.Then, it should be noted Ukrainian (2%), and Bashkirs Chuvashes (at 1.15%).
National composition of Russian are also Chechens, Armenians and Avars.The indigenous people of Russia, in the old days is a fairly large community, such as Mordvinians Jews today are inferior in the number of the above Armenians and Avars, who are newcomers.
After Mordovians these lists appear on the Kazakhs, Azeris and Dargin, as for the most part have come to work in Russia.
The national structure of Russia includes 180 nations and nationalities.Nearly two-thirds of all the nations of Russia Russians are little known because of its small size.For example, what can you say about the Yezidis, Rutuls, Andi, Assyrians?
part of the national part of Russia, and such a small nation as Yuga, which in 2002 was 19 people, and by 2010 there was only 1 of the Greek-Urums also stayed 1 person out of 54 registered in 2002.
for threeperson more Mennonites in the country and Kerek, for 4 people - bagulalov.There nationalities represented in Russia 6 or 7 people.For example, just Astrakhan Tatars (there are only seven people!).
deserves a separate discussion table of population growth.The Russian nation has been steadily decreasing: in 2010 recorded negative increase (decrease) in the amount of 4,872,211 people, representing 4.2% of the population.Decreasing the percentage of Belarusians (35.46%), Germans (34%), Jews (31.81%), Karelia (34.85%), Finns, Latvians, Estonians, Lithuanians - approximately the same amounts.But the enormous growth figures surprised demographers Kirghiz (225, 14% !!!), Uzbeks (135.82% !!) and Tajiks (66.73%), also representing the ethnic composition of the population of Russia.
main problem in Russia today is not its diverse ethnic composition, and relations between ethnic groups, the emergence of inter-ethnic conflicts, trampling visiting cultural and ethical traditions.
Yes, the questions after reading the data from these there are many Russian patriot, and with them there is a lot of thinking about what to do in order to remedy the situation peak.
