This book is an attempt to compile a list of the nations of the Russian Empire, the information about which is given in the different publications, listed in the Addendum. As it is based on the already printed materials, it of cause has some gaps. Very rough are the population data – it was gotten not by the special research, but was got from different sources, reflecting different years. So, this book may be considered just as a reference source.
