How many Russians are there in Ukraine?

According to the official statistics of Ukraine 20 1 1, there are about 20,000 Russians in Ukraine, accounting for nearly 50% of Ukraine's population. According to the official statistics of Ukraine in 20 19 years, Russians only accounted for 17.3% of the population at that time, and there were about 7170,000 Russian Ukrainians. However, at that time, this data also made some simple social surveys, and one of them was a very interesting question, that is, how did these Russians live in Ukraine? As a result, the final statistical answer is that most people almost no longer regard themselves as Russians, but are used to calling themselves "Ukrainians".

In fact, this may be more obvious in the west, that is, Ukrainians of Russian descent. However, the eastern cities will still tend to Russia. After all, they once belonged to the former Soviet Union.

When I was studying in Ukraine, I asked some friends. They all feel that they are not Ukrainian or Russian. They all think they are Slavs, or some friends who like to joke prefer to say they are Soviets. . . In addition, the older generation of Ukrainians actually miss the Soviet Union.
