title: Russians in Ukraine – geodemographic dynamics of the post-Soviet period (results and perspectives)
abstract: By the time of the dissolution of the USSR about 25 millions of Russians were inhabitants of the Union Republics. About a half of this demographic group accrued to the Ukrainian SSR. Thus, ethno-demographic and sociocultural perspectives of Russians in the post-Soviet Ukraine have nearly central significance in the problem of keeping of the modern Russian ethnocultural expatriate community.
