From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
This is a list of people associated with Imperial Russia, the Soviet Union, and Russia of today. For a long time Russia was a multinational country, and many people of different nationalities contributed to its culture, to its glory, and to its sorrow. They may be Georgians, Jews, Poles, Moors, Udege, Tatars, Belarussians, Germans,... Sometimes we don't know their exact ancestry. Sometimes their formal nationality was written down at random or for political or other reasons. They may have emigratedd or immigrated, and thus may appear in other "Lists of...", but nevertheless their names are linked to the words "Russia", "Russian", whether with pride, with shame, or with pain.
