Number of Ukrainians currently living in Russia...
Hi,
i have been searching the internet lately and found that, according the Ukrainian governement web portal at http://www.kmu.gov.ua/control/en/publis ... t_id=32672, Ukrainian people (of Ukrainian descent and/or by birth) accounted for 4.3M while Mr Askold S. Lozynskyj, President of the Ukrainian World Congress states in an article written for the Ukrweekly at http://www.ukrweekly.com/Archive/2002/330219.shtml, that there would be, i quote: "...10 M people within the Russian Federation itself."
How is one supposed to interpretate those figures, especially when there seems to be such a discrepancy between them?
Can anybody comment on that?

without references to sources I doubt it is possible to comment. It all depends on how the nationality is counted; it seems that the government figure is the census estimate and Lozynsky thinks that it undercounts Ukrainians:
