“The rest of your post is also heavily false”
Except for the last sentence, which oversimplifies excessively (read the WIKI article linked to in my following post for a better description), I believe my post is correct.
Please post quote any sentence from my post followed by what you believe to be correct and I will investigate further.
Sure, let me point out the errors in your post: 1. "There are about 25 million Russians living outside of the Russian Federation in what were former parts of the Soviet Union." Not really - it is 25 million "ethnic Russians" in total. in the lands that were the former USSR that is 16 million "Today the largest ethnic Russian diasporas outside of Russia exist in former Soviet states such as Ukraine (about 9 million), Kazakhstan (3,644,529 or 20.61% in 2016),[58] Belarus (about 1.5 million), Uzbekistan (about 650,000)[59] Kyrgyzstan (about 600,000)[60] and Latvia (471,276 or 34.7% in 2020).[17]
The USSR collapsed 30+ years ago and many have assimilated into the lands they are in - many in Ukraine

These ethnic Russians often hold down prime jobs. - not in any significant way this century - it was heavy in the 1990s, but has decreased steadily
