Is It true that Russia Republic is only 45% white?

[Giovanni Fiori]

I saw that information in a Facebook group, it was a russian guy that said that. I can't ask there because Mark disabled all my accounts.

I'd say Russia Republic is white at least 50%.

Are Chechens and North Caucasians 'white' in this case?

[Alenka]

Russia is more than 80% white actually.

- Ethnic Russians 80.9%,
- Ukrainians 1.4%,
- Belarusians 0.38%,
plus some other European ethnicities in lower amounts, maybe adding up to an additional percent altogether.

The number is also a little higher if you have a wider definition of white and include Caucasus ethnic groups.
- Chechens 1.04%,
- Armenians 0.86%,
- Avars 0.66%,
plus some others in lower amounts, again an additional percent or two.
