The majority of Russians are Russian.
This may seem obvious, but it's important to understand that nationality and ethnicity are not always the same. While most Russians identify as ethnically Russian, there are also many other ethnic groups living in Russia.
Here are some examples:
- Tatars: The largest ethnic minority in Russia, with a population of over 5.3 million.
- Ukrainians: With a population of over 1.9 million, Ukrainians are the second largest ethnic minority in Russia.
- Bashkirs: A Turkic ethnic group with a population of over 1.6 million.
- Chechens: A North Caucasian ethnic group with a population of over 1.4 million.
- Chuvash: A Turkic ethnic group with a population of over 1.2 million.
These are just a few examples, and there are many other ethnic groups living in Russia. While the majority of Russians are ethnically Russian, the country has a rich and diverse population.
