ethnic groups, many with their own national territories make up the population of Russia. Germans first came to Russia in 1682 and settled along the Volga River.
They became an autonomous republic that
was dissolved in World War II.
In 1992 North Korea allowed many Koreans
to migrate to Russia due to poor economic conditions in their own country. They immigrated to Russia and concentrated working in commercial activities.
The Roma people are a very detached minority group in Russia whose origins date back to the 1800s when they migrated into Russia from Europe. They live in small separate communities and tend to sell
items in street markets.
Russia struggles with racial discrimination
due to its vast ethnic diversity. However,
this diversity helps create a culturally rich society
with much to offer for everyone.
