The most numerous peoples of Russia. What nations live in Russia

2002 census confirmed that the Russian Federation is one of the most multinational states of the world - representatives of over 160 nationalities live in the country. During the census, the Constitution of the Russian Federation in terms of the free self-determination of national affiliation was provided. At the census of the population, more than 800 different options for the population responses were obtained to the question of national affiliation.

Seven peoples inhabiting Russia - Russians, Tatars, Ukrainians, Bashkirs, Chuvashi, Chechens and Armenians, have a population exceeding 1 million people. Russians are the most numerous nationality, their number amounted to 116 million people (about 80% of the country's inhabitants).

For the first time after the census of the population of 1897, the number of persons attributed to the Cossacks (140 thousand people) was obtained and also for the first time after the census of 1926, the number of persons who called themselves quicken (about 25 thousand people) were obtained. About 1.5 million people did not indicate its nationality.

Population of Russia for national composition

79.8% (115,868.5 thousand) - Russians;

1% (1457.7 thousand) - nationality is not specified;

19, 2% (27838.1) - other nationalities. Of them:

All nations inhabiting our country can be divided into three groups:

• The first - ethnic groups, most of which live in Russia, and outside of it are only small groups (Russians, Chuvashi, Bashkirs, Tatars, Komi, Yakuts, Buryats, and others). They tend to form national-state units.
• The second group is the peoples of the countries of "near abroad" (ie, the republics of the former USSR), as well as some other countries that are presented in Russia with significant groups, in some cases compact resettlement (Ukrainians, Belarusians, Kazakhs, Armenians, Poles , Greeks, etc.).
• And finally, the third group form small subdivisions of ethnic groups, in most people living outside Russia (Romanians, Hungary, Abkhaz, Chinese, Vietnamese, Albanians, etc.).

Thus, about 100 nations (the first group) lives mainly in Russia, the rest (representatives of the second and third group) are mainly in the countries of "near abroad" or other states of the world, but are still a significant element of the population of Russia.

Peoples living in Russia (representatives of all three groups allocated earlier) speak languages \u200b\u200bthat relate to different language families . The most numerous ones are representatives of four language families: Indo-European (89%), Altai (7%), North Caucasian (2%) and Urals (2%).

Indo-European family

The most numerous in Russia - Slavic Group, including Russian, Ukrainians, Belarusians, and others. Ordon Russian areas are the territories of the European North, the North-West and the Central Regions of Russia, but they live everywhere and prevail in most regions (in 77 of 88 regions), especially in the Urals, Southern Siberia and the Far East. Among other peoples of this language group, Ukrainians are allocated (2.9 million people - 2.5%), Belarusians (0.8 million)

Thus, it can be argued that - first of all, the Slavic state (the proportion of Slavs is over 85%) and the largest Slavic state of the world.

The second among the Indo-European family german group (Germans).Since 1989, their number has decreased from 800 to 600 thousand people as a result of emigration.

Iranian group - Ossetians. Their number has increased from 400 to 515 thousand in many respects as a result of emigration from the territory due to armed conflict in South Ossetia.

In addition to the Indo-European family listed in Russia, other peoples are present: Armenians ( armenian Group); Moldovans and Romanians (romanesque group) and etc.

Altai family

The most numerous in the Altai family of the Turkic group (11.2 million people from 12), which includes Tatars, Chuvashi, Bashkira, Kazakhs, Yakuts, Shorents, Azerbaijanis, and others. Representatives of this group - Tatars are the second in numbers of Russia after the Russians.

The largest Turkic peoples (Tatars, Bashkirs, Chuvashi) are concentrated in the Urals-Volga region.

Other Turkic peoples are resettled in south of Siberia (Altai, Shorts, Khakasi, Tuvintsy) up to the Far East (Yakuta).

The third area of \u200b\u200bthe settlement of the Turkic peoples - (, Karachay, Balkarians).

Also, the Altai family includes: group (Buryats, Kalmyks);tunguso Manchur (EVEN, NANITS, ULECH, UDEGY, ORIKH),

Ural family

The largest of this family finno-Ugric Groupwhich includes Mordva, Udmurts, Mariers, Komi, Komi-Perm, Finns, Hungarians, Saama. In addition, this family includesself-Tea Group (, Selkup, Nganasana),yukagir Group (). The main area of \u200b\u200bresidence of the peoples of the Ural Language Family is the Ural-Volga region and the North of the European part of the country.

North Caucasian family

North Caucasian family presented in the main peoplesnakho-Dagestan group (Chechens, Avars, Dargin, Lezgins, Ingush, etc.) andabkhaz-Adyg Group (Kabardians, abazines). The peoples of this family live more compactly, mainly in the North Caucasus.

Representatives also live in Russia chukotka-Kamchatka family (, confidence); eskimo-Aleutian family (, Aleuts); cartewill family () The peoples of other language families and peoples (the Chinese, Arabs, Vietnamese, etc.).

The languages \u200b\u200bof all nations of Russia are equal, but the language of interethnic communication is Russian.

Russia, being a multinational republic in his own way state Deviceis a federation built on the national territorial principle. The federal structure of the Russian Federation is based on its state integrity, the unity of the state power system, the delimitation of subjects and powers between the state authorities of the Russian Federation and the state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, equality and self-determination of peoples in the Russian Federation (the Constitution of the Russian Federation, 1993). The Russian Federation consists of 88 subjects, of which 31 are national education (republic, autonomous districts, an autonomous region). The total area of \u200b\u200bnational formations is 53% of the territory of the Russian Federation. At the same time, only about 26 million people of which almost 12 million Russian live here. At the same time, many nations of Russia are dispersed in various regions of Russia. As a result, the situation was developed when on the one hand, part of the peoples of Russia is resettleged outside their national formations, and on the other hand, within many of the national formations, the share of the main or "title" (given name to the appropriate formation) of the nation is relatively small. So, from the 21st of the Russian Federation only in eight, the main peoples make up the majority (Chechen Republic, Ingushetia, Tyva, Chuvashia, Kabardino-Balkaria, North Ossetia, Tatarstan and Kalmykia. In polyethnics Dagestan, ten local peoples (Avars, Dargin, Kumyki, Lezgins, Laktsi , Tabasarans, Nogai, Rutults, Agules, Tsakhura) form 80% of the total population. The lowest share of "titular" peoples have (10%) and Khakassia (11%).

A peculiar picture of the settlement of peoples and autonomous districts. They are settled very rarely and for many decades attracted migrants from all the republics of the former USSR (Russian, Ukrainians, Tatars, Belarusians, Chechens, etc.), which came to work - to master the richest deposits, build roads, industrial facilities and cities. As a result, the main peoples in most autonomous districts (and in the only autonomous region) constitute only a small percentage in the total population. For example, in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous District - 2%, in Yamalo-Nenets, 6%, Chukotka - about 9%, etc. Only in one Aginsky Buryat AO, the title peoples make up most (62%).

The dispersal of many nations and their intensive contacts with other nations, especially with the Russians, contribute to their assimilation.

Do you know how many nationalities in the world? Answer this question is not as easy as it seems at first glance. There is quite a lot of contradictions in understanding the term "nationality" itself. What is it? Language community? Civilianship? This article will be devoted to the introduction of a certain clarity in the issues of the nationalities of the world. And we will consider what ethnic groups give rise to beauties and attractive men. Naturally, nationalities may disappear, assimilated. Yes, and the individual in our globalization can be a product of mixing various ethnic groups. And often a person is difficult to answer the question of who he is by nationality. But if we talk about big teams of people, then here we can identify several factors by which the ethnicity is determined.

Citizenship and nationality

First, not all powers are monolithic in the ethnic composition of their population. And even if we do not take into account the presence of migrants, the so-called "first-generation citizens", then it cannot be said that there is a hundred ninety-two nationalities of the world. The list of states (namely, so much on their political map) does not give us the idea of \u200b\u200bnumerous ethnic groups inhabiting these same countries. For example, representatives of more than one hundred eighties of nationalities live in the Russian Federation. And the North and South Korea inhabits one people, divided by a demarcation line due to political strife. There is a concept of "American nation", but it is extremely motley on ethnic composition. The same can be said about Australia, New Zealand and Canada, whose land settled emigrants from around the world. At the same time, even in such a seemingly monolithic on the ethnic composition of a country, like Poland, there are silesians, swabs, lemks and other groups.

Language and nationality

One of the markers, according to which one can determine the personality of a person to one or another people is its language. At the census of the population, this factor is placed at the head of the corner. If we are guided by this marker, then the question of how many nationalities in the world can be answered: from two and a half to five thousand. Why is such a huge scatter in numbers? Because we are faced with a new difficulty: what is the language? Is the dialect, a certain ethnic community? But also to determine the national personality of a person in the language is also not entirely correct. After all, not all Jews know Hebrew. And almost died, and now the Government is making incredible efforts to revive him. Residents of the Green Island speak English, but they do not consider the British at the same time.

Appearance and nationality

An even more pricked way is to identify the ethnicity of the individual on its physiological features. What can we say about the appearance of a person? If he has blond hair and blue eyes, it can be equally successfully found as a Swede and Russian or Pole. Of course, it is possible to talk about the Scandinavian, Mediterranean, Latin American, but it all does not give us ideas about how the representative of the "Title Nation" should look like. Especially since the dominant gene of brunettes blonds gradually "dying out." The nationalities of the world, whose representatives inhabited land, previously known as countries of blond people (Bulgaria, states in the Balkan Peninsula, Italy, Georgia), after Turkish conquest noticeably "Pozrmugleli". So determining the ethnicity in appearance is not possible. Although, of course, there are certain features of the person who are often found among representatives of one or another nationality.

Formation of ethnic groups

All nationalities of the world in their historical development passed a long way. The ancient tribes concluded military merchants and lived in close neighborhood for a long time. From this, certain differences were erased, the dialects were closer, forming one language. You can lead as an example of ancient Romans. In addition to the Latins who inhabited the region along the banks of the tiber, Vennets, Avona, Lukan, Oski, messages, pizza, Umbra and Faliski took part in the formation of the people. And their dialects exist so far! The huge Roman Empire, which included many nationalities, was broken in the Middle Ages. Latin - the official language of the ancient state - gave impetus to the formation of Romanesque languages: Italian, French, Spanish. The awareness of the set with one generality in the composition of the state generates a nation.

Natural assimilation

Not all nationalities of the countries of the world have survived to this day. Smaller nationality, surrounded by larger, risks losing its identity, especially if it is included in the state where the "titular nation" is considered to be this greatest nationality. So happened in the USSR. The first census conducted in 1926 discovered that 178 nationalities live in the state. In 1956 they were only 109. And large nationalities, which had more than ten thousand people in their composition, were 91. Thus, for incomplete thirty years, the number of ethnic groups decreased significantly. Of course, not everyone became Russian. Adjirts, Lases, Svans and Mingrels began to associate themselves with Georgians; Kuramints, Turks and Kipchaks began to consider themselves with Uzbeks. Thus, if not to support the cultural features of small nations, there is a serious risk that they will disappear.

Violent assimilation

Sometimes governments, lacking separatist sentiment, hold policies aimed at conscious destruction of nationality as such. They do not kill representatives of an ethnic minority, but conduct targeted assimilation measures. For example, in Poland, after World War II, all the lemks were taken out of their compact accommodation sites and excavated small group in other regions of the country. In the south of France, for a long time, schoolchildren were punished if they began to speak at the local oxitian adveria. Only from the eighties of the twentieth century under pressure from the public, optional courses on the study of the almost disappeared dialect were opened. Since the small nationalities of the world and are so inclined to dissolve in large, assimilating their violent means is a violation of human rights.

How many nationalities in the world?

No one knows. According to various sources, the nationality of the peoples of the world can withdraw from four and a half to six thousand. The total number of languages \u200b\u200band dialects ranges from two and a half to five thousand. But there are still tribes that do not come to contact with a civilized world (the so-called UN-Contacted People). How many such tribes that are still found in Africa, the Amazon River Valley? It is also quite difficult to determine the line between ethnic groups, nationality and nationality. But there is another opinion about larger communities. It is believed that the nation is a purely political construct. This theory conquers more and more supporters in modern society.

Beautiful nationality of the world: list

Assimilation, of course, can lead to the disappearance of the ethnos. But the mixing of blood only improves the gene pool. The so-called methis have always been struck by beauty and talents. Recall at least the Russian poet A. S. Pushkin, Slavic and African blood flowed in whose veins. If you do not talk about certain individuals, but about large groups of people, then the same relationship is traced. The most beautiful generality is the one in which they mixed as in the horn, various nationalities of the world. Thus, Latin America's countries are striking beauties and angel-like men. After all, local Indian tribes, Spaniards and immigrants from Africa took part in the formation of Kostarikans, Brazilians and Columbians. Citizens of the former USSR are also not afraid, since many of them were born as a result of mixed interethnic marriages.

Where do the most beautiful girls live?

This question worries not only representatives of strong sex. Of course, the elephant of beauty has its own, but the Miss Universe contests are held? Let's make a small statistical analysis to reveal in which country most often meet the most beautiful women in the world. The nationality of the charming winner members of the jury is not taken into account. But we will consider a charming girl by the representative of the "Title Nation".

So, according to polls made by various male and female magazines, in the first place in beauty - a resident of Brazil. After all, this Latin American country - the real here can be found as an irresistible blonde and a charming black woman. Many people from Asia presented Tomotivity of Japanese orchids and almond-shaped eyes with Brazilians. If you like high blondes, then feel free to go for them in Sweden. In third place are Argentine. Ukrainian people hold the fourth position, and the fifth - Russians.

Where do the most beautiful men of the world by nationality live?

A selection of super-engagement macho different countries made a portal for tourists Travelers Digest. He conducted his own research to correctly send lonely ladies to a romantic vacation. What happened? What nationalities of the world have given a larger number of Apollons?

The portal warns that not only the external data of men, but also their pupil, the level of intelligence, the ability to care for the lady. The Swedes, residents of New York and Amsterdam are leading in this list. The top ten includes portuguese, Argentines, Australians, Spaniards, Germans, Italians and Israelis. But girls often notice that the portal was mistaken. In their opinion, residents of Latin American countries, Spaniards, Italians and Turks are more attractive.

regional migration international

By the beginning of the 20th century, the territory of the Russian Empire reached 22.4 million km2. Accordingly, with an increase in the territory grew and the population of the population and during this period of time was 128.2 million people. Thus, according to the census of 1897, there were 196 peoples in ethnic composition, and the share of Russians was 44.3%.

In 1926, about 160 ethnic groups were distinguished by the USSR census, including 30 hours of population less than 1 thousand people. A characteristic feature of the peoples of the USSR was a strong difference in their numbers. Twenty-two of them, more than 1 million people each, accounted for 96% of the population of the whole country.

As for the population of modern Russia, it is also very rich and diverse. Today, more than 130 nations and nationalities live in the territory of the Russian Federation. Every people are characterized by way of life, customs, historical traditions, culture, work skills.

According to the 1989 census, the majority of the population amounted to Russians (more than 80%), further from numerous nationalities inhabiting Russia, the following: Tatars (over 5 million people), Ukrainians (over 4 million people), Chuvashi, Bashkirs, Belarusians, Mordva and others.

As for the national composition of the Chita region, in the 1989 population census, the following data was recorded (as a percentage of the entire population of the region): Russians - 88.4%, Buryats - 4.8%, Ukrainians - 2.8%, Tatars - 0.9%, Belarusians - 0.7%, Chuvashi - 0.2%, Bashkirs - 0.2%, Mordva - 0.1%, Evenks - about 0.1%, other nationalities - 1.9%.

The current statistics were noted an increase in the share of Russians to 90.9%, it was up to 5.4%, Evenks up to 0.2% and a decrease in the share of representatives of other nationalities.

The overwhelming part of the peoples of the North, first of all, Evenks, lives in Kalarsky, Tungiro-Olekminsky and Tungokochen regions.

The resettlement of peoples in the territory of the Russian Federation

All nations inhabiting our country can be divided into three groups. The first - ethnic groups, most of which live in Russia, and beyond only small groups (Russians, Chuvashi, Bashkirs, Tatars, Yakuts, Buryats, Kalmyks and others). They, as a rule, form national-state units as part of the Russian Federation.

The second group is those peoples of neighboring countries (that is, the republics of the former USSR), as well as some other countries that are presented in Russia with significant groups, in some cases compact resettlement (Ukrainians, Belarusians, Kazakhs, Armenians, Poles, Greeks and others ).

And finally, the third group form small subdivisions of ethnic groups, in most cases living outside of Russia (Romanians, Hungarians, Abkhaz, Chinese, Vietnamese, Albanians, Croats and others).

Thus, about 100 nations (the first group) lives mainly in the territory of the Russian Federation, the rest are representatives of the second and third groups - mainly in countries of near abroad or other states of the world, but are still a significant element of the population of Russia.

Russia is a multinational republic, according to its state structure, is a federation built on a nationally territorial principle.

The federal structure of the Russian Federation is based on its state integrity, unity of the system of government, the delimitation of objects and powers between the state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, equality and self-determination of peoples in the Russian Federation (Constitution of the Russian Federation, 1993).

On January 1, 2007, 86 subjects are included in the Russian Federation on January 1, 2007, of which 21 of them, 7 edges, 48 \u200b\u200bregions, 2 cities of the federal purpose (Moscow and St. Petersburg), 1 autonomous region, 7 autonomous districts.

The total area of \u200b\u200b29 national entities (republics, autonomous districts, autonomous region) is 53% of the country's territory. At the same time, only about 26 million people live here (among them nearly 12 million Russians).

All national formations are characterized by complex population. Moreover, the share of the main or "title" nation in some cases is relatively small. So, out of the 21st of the Russian Federation only in the six main peoples make up the majority (Ingushetia, Chuvashia, Tuva, Kabardino-Balkaria, North Ossetia, Chechen Republic). In polyethnic Dagestan, ten local peoples (Avars, Darginians, Kumyki, Lezgins, Laktsi, Tabasarana, Nogai, Rutults, Aguly, Tsakhura) form 80% of the total population. In the nine republics on the peoples of the "titular" nation account for less than one third of the population (including in Karelia and Kalmykia).

The picture of the settlement of peoples in autonomous districts is significantly different. They are settled very rarely and for many decades attracted migrants from all the republics of the former USSR (Russians, Ukrainians, Tatars, Belarusians, Chechens and others), which came to work - to master the richest mineral deposits, build roads, industrial facilities and cities. As a result, "title" peoples in most autonomous districts and in the only autonomous region are only a small percentage of the total population. For example, in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous District - 1.5%, in Yamalo-Nenets - 6%, Chukotka - about 9%. A detailed national structure of the population of the Russian autonomy can be traced according to Table 1.1 in the application.

Language families and groups

A distinctive feature of the people is its language - the most important means of communication of people. In the similarity of the languages, peoples are united into language groups, and relatives and related groups in language families. According to the language sign, all nations of Russia can be combined in 4 language families:

1. Indo-European Family (80% of all residents of the country). This family includes: - the Slavic group, the most numerous in Russia, including Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Poles and others.

Iranian group, including Tajiks, Ossetians, Kurds.

Romanesque group, which includes Moldovans, Gypsies, Romanians.

German group. They include Germans, Jews.

2. Altai family (6.8% of all residents of the country). It includes the following groups: - The Turkic group, which includes Tatars, Chuvashi, Bashkirs, Kazakhs, Yakuts, Tuvints, Karachay, Khakasi, Balkarians, Altai, Shorents, Dolgans.

Mongolian group consisting of Buryat, Kalmykov.

Tungus-Manchur group. This group includes - Evenov, Evenkov, Nanaysev, Udahegei and others.

Paleoisian group consisting of Chukchi, Koryakov.

3. Ural family (2% of all residents of the country). They are divided into groups: - Finno-Ugric group, which includes Mordva, Estonians, Udmurts, Mariers, Komi, Komi-Perm, Karelia, Finns, Mansi, Hungarians, Saama.

Self-Tea Group, including Nenets, Selkups, Nganasanov.

Yukagir Group (Yukagira).

4. North Caucasian family (2% of all residents of the country). Also includes several groups: - Nakho-Dagestan group. It includes Chechens, Avars, Darginians, Lezgins, Ingush.

Carvela group · Georgians.

Adyghaz group, including Adygei, Abkhazians, Circassians, Kabardians.

In addition to the above families, representatives of the Chukchi-Kamchatka family (Chukchi, Koryaki, Itelmen) live in Russia; Eskimo-Aleuta family (Eskimos, Aleuts) and the peoples of other language families and peoples (Chinese, Arabs, Vietnamese and others).

The languages \u200b\u200bof all the peoples of Russia are full, but the language of interethnic communication is Russian.

According to the most modest calculations, more than 192 peoples, distinguished from each other in terms of culture, religion or development history, live on the territory of the Russian Federation. It is noteworthy, they all turned out to be in one state borders almost peaceful ways - as a result of the accession of new territories.

Features of residence of peoples

For the first time, the list of peoples living in Russia amounted to in the middle of the XVIII century to streamline tax collection. The Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg seriously was engaged in this issue, and during the XVII-XIX centuries several dozen serious ethnographic studies on this topic were released, as well as many illustrated albums and atlases that were very valuable for modern scientists.

At the end of the first decade of the XXI century, the population of the country can be formally divided into 192 ethnic groups. Nations with a number of more than 1 million in Russia only 7. These include:

• Russians - 77.8%.
• Tatars - 3.75%.
• Chuvashi - 1.05%.
• Bashkirs - 1.11%.
• Chechens - 1.07%.
• Armenians - 0.83%.
• Ukrainians - 1.35%.

There is also a term " title nation"The ethnos understand the name of the region, and this may be not the most numerous people. For example, many people of Russia live in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous District (the list consists of more than 50 points). But only Khanty and Mansi, who were Only 2% of the population of the region, they gave him the official name.

Ethnographic studies continue in the XXI century, and work on the topic "Peoples of Russia: a list, number and interest" are interesting not only for serious scientists, but also to ordinary people who want to know more about their homeland.

Peoples of the European part of Russia

Russians are not mentioned as a nation in the current Constitution of Russia, but in fact this nation is more than 2/3 from the total population. His " cradle"It is from the Northern Primorye and Karelia to the coast of the Caspian and Black Seas. The people are characterized by the unity of spiritual culture and religion, homogeneous anthropology and general language. However, Russians are also inhomogeneous in their composition and are divided into various ethnographic groups:

Northern - Slavic peoples living in Novgorod, Ivanovo, Arkhangelsk, Vologda and Kostroma regions, as well as in the Republic of Karelia and in the north of Tver lands. For the northern Russians are characteristic akaya"Talk and brighter suitality.

South Russian peoples live in Ryazan, Kaluga, Lipetsk, Voronezh, Oryol and Penza regions. Residents of these regions " obel"When talking. For part" yuzhnorosov"Characterized by bilingualism (Cossacks).

Northern and southern regions are not located close - they are connected by the Central Russian zones ( intermetsheye Oka and Volga) Where the inhabitants of both zones are mixed equally. In addition, in the total mass of Russians, there are so-called sub-ethnic groups - compactly residing small peoples that are allocated by the peculiarities of their language and culture. These are quite closed and small list of them consists of the following groups:

• Water ( for 2010, the number of 70 people).
• Pomor.
• Meshcheryaki.
• Fields.
• Sayans.
• Don and Kuban Cossacks.
• Kamchadaly.

Peoples of southern regions

We are talking about the territories between the Azov and the Caspian seas. In addition to the Russian population, many other ethnic groups live there, including those who radically different in terms of traditions and religion. The reason for such a bright difference was the proximity of the eastern countries - Turkey, the Tatar Crimea, Georgia, Azerbaijan.

Southern Peoples of Russia (List):

• Chechens.
• Ingush.
• Nogai.
• Kabardians.
• Circassians.
• Adygei.
• Karachay.
• Kalmyki.

In the southern part of Russia focused half " national"The republics. Practically, each of the listed peoples has its own language, and Muslim prevails among them in a religious plan.

Separately, it is worth noting a long-suffering Dagestan. And, above all, the fact that the people with such a name does not exist. This word brings together a group of ethnic groups (Avartsents, Aguly, Darginians, Lezgins, Lakatsi, Nogai, etc.), living in the territory of the Republic of Dagestan.

and north

It is worth noting that when looking at the list of nations of Russia, an ethno-language classification appears in almost full form. In particular, among the languages \u200b\u200bof different nations "noted" almost all language groups:

1. Indo-European Group:

• Slavic languages \u200b\u200b( russian, Belorussky).
• Germanic languages \u200b\u200b( jewish, German).

2. Finno-Ugric Languages \u200b\u200b( mordovsky, Mariy, Komi-Zyryansky, etc.).

3. Tryan Languages \u200b\u200b( altai, Nogai, Yakutsky, etc.).

4. Mongolian languages \u200b\u200b( kalmyk, Buryat).

5. Languages \u200b\u200bof the North Caucasus ( adygei, Dagestan languages, Chechen and others.).

In the 21st century, the Russian Federation continues to remain one of the most multinational states of the world. There is no need for the imposition of "multiculturalism", because in this mode the country has already been many centuries.

As a child, my mother and I have learned the poem of Barto. The very thing that spoke about twenty-five braids of Uzbeks. The Yakut boy was also mentioned there - and immediately became clear that there were many nations in the USSR. And I wondered: a what kind of peoples live in modern Russia and how many of them?

How many peoples live in Russia

Even reading the most important law of our country - the Constitution, you can meet the phrase that The Russian Federation is a multinational country. But the exact number of peoples there, of course, is not specified.

We can learn only from the All-Russian census. According to the latest data obtained in 2010, about 190 peoples live in the country.

However, it is worth considering that this number may not be 100% accurate - after all, 7% of the population did not participate in this survey, and therefore they may be even more.

What nations live in Russia

Listed here such a big list would be too stupid - it is for a long time, and even more so. But list the most numerous peoples of our country:

Traditions of the peoples of Russia

Each peoples have their own traditions, Its features that were formed over the years.

Do everyone remember the Buranian grandmothers who conquered Eurovision? They are representatives udmurt nation. Unusual costumes of performers with beautiful embroidery are traditional for Udmurts.

W. archintsev, Residential On the territory of Dagestan, There is a fun Christmas tradition. Instead of beads, balls and tinsel they wrap herringbone in sheep's fur coats. And instead of the docks, they dance around the village of Lezginka.

Very little left tribes Khanty and Mansi.Their culture is very closely associated with nature. According to these peoples, a person should not mindlessly take away the nature of wealth, he should treat her with respect and care.

Honestly, this should be led to each of us.

I have a very beautiful girlfriend with dark-skinned skin, casting copper, with black thick hair, resting on the shoulders, and brown-brown eyes, in which you can watch infinitely long. Her father is Uzbek, and the mother is Russian. Millions of people are living in Russia, ranking themselves to different peoples. Every day, representatives of various nations in our country coexist peacefully and safely develop.

Peoples inhabiting our immense country

Russia is a multinational country, its history is closely intertwined with the history of the peoples inhabiting it, this is the place of association of hundreds of millions of people with different color of the skin, body structure, eye color. Tatars are adjacent to the Russians, Mariers with Udmurts, Yakuts with Buryats, etc. Our country is literally written by numerous peoples (more than 190), which have their own traditions, customs, spiritual and vital foundations.

The manifold of the peoples of Russia is determined, first of all, its long history, as well as a kind of geographical position, involving ancient times, close relationships between nations.

Some people of Russia, rare and interesting

In the Russian Federation, there are quite many nations that have a small number, however, having a breathtaking and fascinating history, filled with take-offs and falls, misfortunes and joy.

Here is some of them:

• Finns and Finns Ingermanlanders. They live mainly in the Leningrad Region, the Republic of Karelia and Western Siberia. During the Soviet power, many representatives of the people were repressed, many of them died during the Great Patriotic War.
• Nanixes are the indigenous people of Russia, living in the Far East (the shore of Amur). Nanixes are representatives of the Mongoloid race, are characterized by narrow almond eyes and wide beautiful lips. The clothes in the people differ in cruel and bright colors. Personally, I like it terribly!

• Pomor is the small people of the North of our country, living on the shores of the White Sea. In antiquity, they were famous as beautiful navigas, who walked to Spitsberegin and the New Earth.

The Russian Federation is a large state and, at the same time, multinational. I think this is obvious, given the number of countries with which we bordered and the geographical location of our state. There are about 190 peoples in our territory, and I want to disassemble the most interesting of them for me.

Avarza as residents of Russia

This people are one of the rooted in the Caucasus. They live in the territory of Dagestan and in East Georgia. It is considered the most numerous of all the peoples of Dagestan. But why are they called "anvar"? It is believed that in honor of the ancient Avars, who lived in this territory in the distant years. About 1.2 million representatives of this nation live in Russia. You can highlight the main regions in Russia, where you can meet Avars:

• Dagestan;
• Chechnya;
• Kalmykia.

From the territory of the settlement everything is clear, now I will go to the language. There is a language - Avar, which, in turn, has dialects. Although this people communicates, both in their own and Russian.

Russian people - Kabardians

Another interesting people, which is located in the Middle East and in Russia. The main regions in which the population prevails is the Stavropol and Krasnodar Territory. The national language can be considered Kabardino-Circassian, but also they know our Russian. A large number of Kabardians is also found in Turkey (twice as much as in Russia). In our territories the number of people who belong to the Kabardians are about 515 thousand people.

Mari representatives in Russia

Markets - the people of Finno-Ugric, who lives in Russia (mainly in the Republic of Mari El). In our country there is half of the world's population of this nation. Their number is 557 thousand people. Mariy residents are divided into groups:

• mountain (left bank of the Volga);
• meadow (Volga-Vyatsky Meternrech);
• eastern (migrants from previous groups).

The main language of communication is Mariy and Gornyary. By the way, in a religious plan, Mariers profess Orthodoxy.

Every day leaving the house and go to work, to the store or just for a walk, I come across the fact that a large number of people on the streets of the city has a wide variety of nationalities. I think you also noticed such a feature, especially if, like me, live in one of Russia megacities, for example, in Moscow or St. Petersburg. Today I will try to answer the question: " What nations live in Russia?».

Peoples living in Russia

Not in vain say that Russia is a multinational country, I fully agree with this expression. I myself have enough friends and acquaintances, colleagues and even relatives who are representatives of other countries and peoples. It pleases that if you believe them say, we can conclude that the attitude towards them of indigenous inhabitants in the absolute majority of cases is extremely benevolent. My neighbor, Ukrainian says that at his work does not feel any oblique looks even after the conflict between our countries. And it definitely pleases, since my personal opinion is such - all people, regardless of race or religion, should live in full peace and harmony, we are people, not dickari! I also noticed such a tendency that people recently began actively snug, and at present, in one company, people often can be seen representatives at once a few nationalities.

Representatives of various peoples with whom I communicate

Given that the percentage ratio of Russian people living in Russia is about 80%, in our country also lives more than 190 other nations. I have no desire to once again write out official statistics, I will try to tell you better on my example, with whom I personally have to face almost every day, living in Moscow.

• Azerbaijanis. In two neighboring apartments on my floor there are two big wonderful families of this people, I often greet and communicate with them.

• Ukrainians. One of my neighbors is Ukrainian, like five of my colleagues. With all only positive communication.

• Armenians. An extremely pleasant and polite people who have always been famous for their hospitality.

• Bashkira. Being in the past yearnamers, still with joy support communication.

• Chechens. I have several distant relatives of representatives of this nation. Communicate with pleasure.

I want everyone reading to wish to be wiser and think of your head, and not a public opinion, often imposed by politicians. Remember - there are no bad or good nations, there are only bad and good people!

For a long time I lived in the student district of Kuibyshev. (This is the one in Siberia). And at that time, numerous students were surprised with a narrow eye. Since I was small and knew only the Aza geography, called them the Chinese. In fact, these were residents of Kazakhstan. Later, learning about different nationalities, I thought about who still lives in Russia except Russian.

National Composition of the Russian Federation

The abundance of peoples in Russia is associated with a huge territory. Country of hundreds of years led war, negotiations, joined new territories, losing the city. Since then, the national composition has become a motley and inhomogeneous. In percentage ratio most russians. Less than half occupy ukrainians, Belarusians, Tatars, Bashkirs, Chuvashi, Chechens, Armenians, Kazakhsand others.

Ethnos

All nations living in Russia belong to nine language families.

1. indo-European,
2. carvetle,
3. ural-Yukagirskaya,
4. altai
5. eskimo-Aleutskaya,
6. north Caucasian,
7. yenisei,
8. sino-Tibetan
9. chukotka-Kamchatka.

These families are divided into countless groups. Often they are classified at the place of residence. Most of the inhabitants of Russia and Europe refers to the Indo-European family, and the rest are few.

Places of residence of different nations

Most Tatarand chuvash lives on the territory of the Volga region how it was already received by the previous commentator. Bashkirs are numerous in the Altai Territory, Tyumen. Ukrainians, belorus live evenly throughout Russia, and caucasianpeoples live mainly in the southern part of Russia. After the census of the population, it was noted that the country does not exist in the country with the people of one nationality. All of them are mixed.
