In accordance with the results of 2010 census, 160 different ethnic groups live in the Russian Federation with a total population of 142.856.536 80,9% of the population is Russian, 1,4% is Ukrainian and 0,4% is Belarusian, so it can be said that 82,7% of the total population belong to the Slav race. Majority of the population except the Slavs are Turks. 8,7% of the population (12 million) belongs to different Turkic Groups. 2/3 percentage of the population (8 million) lives in Idel(Volga)-Ural Region, 1/6 (2 million) lives in Siberia and Far East and 1/7 settles in the region of Caucasus and Lower Idel. According to the State Committee on Statistic of Russia (Goskomstat Rossii), 40 different Turkic ethnic groups are living in Russia. Eleven of these groups are not originally from Russia. They are from regions such as middle-Asia, Caucasus and the Crimea, which are outside of Russia. Other than the mentioned groups, which are immigrants, 29 other Turkic groups have a region of their own in Russia. The usage of the mother tongue among Turkic groups in their homeland in Russia and in other parts of Russia is quite noteworthy. Especially, Turkic Groups living in the Siberian region as small groups speak their mother tongues less than they used to. It is a fact that a community, which forgets its mother tongue, will also lose their values rapidly and die out in a short time.
