Russian diaspora
The Russian diaspora refers to people of Russian origin or descent living outside Russia. This distribution resulted from historical events like wars, political upheavals, and economic migrations, leading Russians to settle in various countries such as the United States, Israel, Germany, and former Soviet republics. The diaspora maintains cultural, linguistic, and social ties to Russia, often forming communities that preserve their heritage while integrating into their host countries. It reflects the global spread of Russian people and their influence beyond Russia’s borders.
