This is utter bullshit. Arguably 2/3 of russian territory is inhabitant by non russian nations

But most of those nations have really low population

The buryats are one nation of many and even still there are FAR more russians than buryats

I'm actually a bit intrigued to know where they pulled out that 2/3 from. Everything to the East of the Urals?

I know, right? Claiming that Yakutia has 50% of ethnic Russians in it is downright ridiculous

Are you colorblind? It's clearly in the red meaning there's way less than 50% reported.

Huh, you are right. Didn't notice it was a faint hue of red. What a terrible pallete choice.

"According to the 2021 census" I don't disagree, but for actual numbers to cite, it might well be the highest quality source, which isn't great, but says a lot about modern Russia.
