Russian

The Russian ethnic group in China has a population of 13,504, mainly living in Ili, Tacheng, Altay and Urumqi in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. There is also a sparse distribution I Heilongjiang Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

The Russians use their own language and written script, which belongs to the Slavic group of the Indo-European language family.

Most Russians belongs to the Orthodox Eastern Church.

The Russians in China are the offspring of immigrants from Tsarist Russia. Many of their ancestors migrated to border cities in China's northwest at the end of the 19th century. Later during the 20th century, more people moved into this region, (today's Xinjiang Autonomous Region), especially after the October Revolution. Theses immigrants were called "guihua people" and their villages "guihua village". With the founding of the PRC in 1949, they were renamed Russian Ethnic Group.

The Russians living in towns usually engage in handicrafts, transport, and other commercial occupations. Some take agriculture as sideline. Those who live in rural areas are most likely to support themselves by farming and animal husbandry. They are especially good at gardening and bee keeping.

Because the Russians haven't been in China for a long time, they have relatives in Russia. After the founding of the PRC, some of them returned to Russia and made a reunion with their relations. Some migrated to Australia and Canada, because they had relatives there. As a result, there are not many Russians in our country.
