	I have to say that this quiz was отлично!

	I forgot Kyrgyzstan! How?!

	Interesting that a country as huge as the former USSR has such a homogenous population, unlike, say the USA. That's a pretty small foreign-born census, there. And yes, I know the reasons, but just noting.

	All the other former Soviet republics (except for Estonia) were on the list. That took care of 13 of the answers right there.

	I was reading about how there are places along the Chinese-Russian border where densely-populated settlement switches to empty Siberian wilderness without much transition. It seems so odd that China is so crowded with all that closed-off Russian land to the north of it.

	I like these foreign-born population quizzes.

	Damn, how could I forget Belarus? It has half a Russia in its name for christ's sake!

	Is it just me, or does the US seem really out of place on this quiz?

	vietnam, how random

	There are traditionally strong ties between Russia and Vietnam, dating back to their communist pasts. I was surprised that Germany did not make it, given their economic ties. I had expected a relatively large number of German expats in Russian businesses.

	I'm surprised that no other big Western countries are on the list besides USA. I figured at least the UK would be on there and maybe a few others.

	Sporcla:	Sep 29th, 2010 at 08:30 GMT	13 points
	Wow only 230k as the top foreign born population. For a country of Russia's size I do find that surprising.

	That's what you call immigration control!

	Interesting quiz -Some 5,000 Russians in Ireland (earlier quiz) but we don't register in Russia although there maybe a few hundred . Strange or maybe not so that Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania are all missing with only Bulgaria . Must be the winters . Surprised that Germany, the UK and France don't register but then many business people can 'commute' for short periods into Russia. Who doesn't love Russian folk music has'nt a soul ;)

	Just named every country I could think of that bordered Russia. Took me forever to get Turkey though...odd.

	Somewhere in the after-life, Napoleon and Hitler commiserate that France and Germany don't make this list

	dlauthor:	Sep 29th, 2010 at 15:02 GMT	18 points
	The fact that Kyrgyzstan isn't somewhere in the upper nineties at least just shows that people aren't paying attention. Seriously, even if the quiz were to name the world's top banana-producing countries, I'd be tempted to try Kyrgyzstan, just to be sure.

	1,300 Americans live in Russia? I wonder how many of those are embassy/consulate employees and such.

	Bonnie - Turkey does not border Russia (though it does border the former USSR republics of Georgia and Armenia).

	XYlophonetreeZ:	Sep 29th, 2010 at 15:29 GMT	23 points
	In Soviet Russia, quiz takes you!

	BonnieH:	Sep 29th, 2010 at 15:57 GMT	4 points
	@Roman: Yes, I am aware. Several of these countries don't border Russia. My comment really meant that Turkey is (imo) a rather obvious answer, why didn't I guess it?

	Kyrgyzstan strikes again!

	Jim_alpha:	Sep 29th, 2010 at 18:35 GMT	4 points
	Wow, 1 in 20 Armenians lives in Russia!

	@sporcla-well, not that many people aspire to one day brake the bonds of poverty and oppression in their homeland by going to russia

	Giobbi thinks Russians should be included in this quiz.
