What is the significance of mentioning Russians (in most cases sent as colonisers, which violated the international laws) "residing" in Soviet-occupied areas? Speaking Russian as their primary language clearly shows that they never assimilated into local cultures. 71.102.74.156 22:10, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Russian IS part of the local cultures. They've been together for hundreds of years!

The map shows a particular region in North India as a significant Russian speaking area. Does anybody know what region/city it is? I am originally from India and am not aware as yet of any such place. Thanks! - Julyda4th

According to the legend, it is not significant area, it is a city with significant russian speqaking population. You may ask ask the author of the map to put more detailed info into the page with the image. `'Míkka >t 20:56, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, my bad! I intended to ask about a region with a 'significant Russian speaking population' and not a 'significant area with Russophones'. Thanks though! Julyda4th 09:28, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
