The Russian Federation is a multinational state with over 190 ethnic groups designated as nationalities. Population of these groups varies enormously, from millions in the case of e.g. Russians and Tatars to under ten thousand in the case of e.g. Samis and Kets. Among 85 subjects which constitute the Russian Federation, there are 21 national republics (meant to be home to a specific ethnic minority), 5 autonomous okrugs (usually with substantial or predominant ethnic minority) and an autonomous oblast.

The table below gives the population of various ethnic groups of Russia according to the 2002 Russian Census.Perepis.ru (in Russian)
