You can see Ukrainians far on East and North-East – now Russian regions of Kursk and Voronezh, and Kuban and Don regions on South-East near Caucasus.

You might have heard that Kubal and Don were settled by kossaks after Sich was destroyed in 1775. Kyrylo-Mefoddivske bratstvo (brotherhood) of which Taras Shevchenko was a member believed that in future Don and Kuban will be Ukrainian states or autonomous regions of Ukraine.

Various ethnic groups and nations on Russian territory are marked and map is incorrect about Western Ukrainians on Polish and Slovakian territory (Lemky is the most significant group).

Basques and Catalans are there on the map.
