This answers all the questions I had about Yakutia.

So, who can tell me what's with those four blue raions in the southwest in the sea of red? It looks like they surround a city with barely a Russian majority.
Edit: Romanians maybe?
Edit 2: Is that Voronezh?

Though there are some (deported) Romanians in Central Asia, there are no Romanians that I know of there. It's pretty far away from Romania&Moldova. My bet would be Ukrainians.
2
Surprised by Primorsky, I had heard a lot of Ukrainians settled out east

Maybe this includes Russified Ukrainians?

maybe. One of the other maps confirms they used to be the largest group, but I Imagine russian immigration eventually made them the largest

Russification...
2
That's not the same Russification as the other person replied to.
1
Yes, but that was happening over a century ago. Their descendants are just plain old Russians nowadays.

Did they interbreed with local Russians then?

Why are there so many russians in "Kaliningrad"? They occupy land and then they send their people to replace the natives..

the german population got forced away by sovjet and polish troops. prussia, posen and schlesien were also cleaned by germans manly because of polish demands.

Compare to the 2010 census.
Having difficulty making this comparison.
The scale is actually the same, though different colors are used. The administrative divisions are mostly the same as well.
