Russia is the world’s largest country, spanning two continents and home to over 190 ethnic groups 23. While ethnic Russians dominate at 72% of the population, the remaining 28% includes indigenous communities, Soviet-era migrants, and recent immigrants. 

• Russia’s Arctic and Siberian regions are home to indigenous groups like the Nenets, Evenks, and Chukchi, many of whom maintain nomadic lifestyles centered on reindeer herding and hunting. These groups have lived in Russia for millennia, long before Slavic expansion. Their traditions are tied to the land, but climate change and urbanization threaten their way of life. Today, fewer than 10% remain nomadic.

• The Tatars (3.7% of the population) are a Turkic Muslim group, descendants of the Mongol Golden Horde. They settled in the Volga region after the 13th-century Mongol invasions. The Kazan Khanate was conquered by Ivan the Terrible in 1552, integrating Tatars into Russia. Today, Tatarstan is a semi-autonomous republic.

• Ukrainians (1.4%) and Belarusians (0.8%) have deep historical ties to Russia. They migrated during the Russian Empire and Soviet eras for work or due to forced relocations. Since 2014, over 2 million Ukrainians fled to Russia.  

• Groups like Uzbeks, Tajiks, and Kyrgyz (collectively ~5 million) came as laborers. They migrated during the Soviet Union for industrialization; numbers grew after its collapse due to economic need. Fill labor gaps in construction and agriculture, though they often face discrimination.

• Chechens, Avars, and Ingush (1–2% combined) are predominantly Muslim groups from the mountainous Caucasus. Resisted Russian expansion in the 19th century; Stalin deported many (e.g., Chechens) to Central Asia in the 1940s.
