            Staunton, Nov. 10 – In addition to data on fertility rates among various ethnic groups in major Russian cities (windowoneurasia2.blogspot.com/2025/11/ethnic-immigrants-in-major-russian.html), the Vavilov Institute of General Genetics has released maps showing where some of the most prominent ethnic groups are now concentrated.

            The Readovka news service has now posted online seven of these maps – for the Azerbaijanis, the Chinese, the Georgians, the Jews, the Tajiks, the Uzbeks, and the Russians. That these maps are now being published is certain to worry many Russian nationalists, although one aspect of these maps may be reassuring.

            The maps contain a key to the number of these groups per 1000 population in each of the sections of the city and that shows that even where the non-Russian groups are concentrated, their concentrations are relatively small relative to the total number of Russians. The ethnic enclaves as Russians refer to ghettos occupy smaller areas than the regions of the city.
