According to the data of the All-Russian Population Census, which received a lot of complaints in connection with the issue of ethnicity, its natives account for almost 85% of the population in Tatarstan. The rest are those who moved from other regions or from other countries. Natives of Tatarstan, in turn, most often go to live in Ulyanovsk Oblast, Moscow, Samara Oblast, Udmurtia and Tyumen Oblast. Read the details in the material of Realnoe Vremya.

Natives of Bashkiria most often move to Tatarstan

Out of 4,004,809 residents of Tatarstan, 3,377,063 indicated that they were born in the republic in the census forms. This is 32% of the population of the region.

The rest of the population of Tatarstan is those who moved there from other regions of Russia. The republic enjoys particular popularity among natives of neighbouring subjects with whom it is part of the Volga Federal District.

Bashkiria natives are the first by a large margin from other regions of the Volga Federal District — there are almost 45,5 thousand of them in Tatarstan. For comparison, 17,449 were born in the Republic of Tatarstan and moved to Bashkortostan, that is, almost three times less. Out of the regions of the Volga Federal District, the least number of newcomers to Tatarstan are from Penza Oblast — 2,130.

We are talking about three regions at once — Sverdlovsk Oblast, Chelyabinsk Oblast, and Tyumen Oblast.

People born in Orel Oblast (353), Khakassia (168), Adygea (144), Sevastopol (143), Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (102), Jewish Autonomous Oblast (125), and Ingushetia (77) are the least living in Tatarstan. At least 23 people who moved to the republic were born in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
