Ethnic groups in southern Soviet Union and neighboring Middle Eastern countries (1986)
‘Ethnic Russians would only be in the majority in Crimea and the built-up parts of the Donetsk and Lugansk oblasts, and pretty much every ethnic map of Ukraine that I’ve seen (whether Soviet or Western) has reflected this.
