People born in the country of Russia are called Russians. Russians do still live in Russia. However, many Russians (just like other people from other countries) migrate. So Russian natives now live all over the world, not just in Russia.

Note that over centuries, the country has born many names including official and non-official names, such as:

  1. Russian Federation (official English description)
  2. ÐоÑÑийÑÐºÐ°Ñ Ð¤ÐµÐ´ÐµÑ€Ð°Ñ†Ð¸Ñ (official Russian)
  3. Russia, (official and common name, ambiguous, English)
  4. ÐоÑÑÐ¸Ñ (Rossiya) (common, Russian)
  5. RF (initialism)
  6. Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic(former name),
  7. RSFSR (former name initialism)
  8. Rus (poetic or obsolete name, ambiguous)
  9. Great Russia (obsolete name)
  10. the former northern Eurasian empire (1917/22–1991)

Note: Today, the name of Russia is "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" (U.S.S.R.), also called Soviet Union Russian or Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik, or Sovetsky Soyuz


If you were looking at historical documents, such as the U.S. Census (which asked people to state where they were born or their native country), you can find people under all these country names, but all of them being from the same land area known as Russia or the "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" (U.S.S.R.).

Russians primarily live in Russia, which is the largest country in the world by land area. They also live in other countries that were part of the former Soviet Union, as well as in diaspora communities around the world.
