re: #125 Vicious Babushka
He is only referring to the Russian Federation, not to any of the other former Soviet republics.
The point is that Russia has an enormous diaspora of Russian speakers living in the former Soviet republics.
And he forgets a time when they were all one nation in which people of other nationalities lived in the Russian Federation - and that the Russian Federation itself contains numbers of non-Russian peoples within its own borders.
He is an asshole.
