Russian Canadian (Gone Rogue from Motherland)

Russian Canadians comprise Canadian citizens of Russian heritage or Russians who emigrated to and reside in Canada. According to the 2011 Census, there were 8,550,520 Canadians who claimed full or partial Russian ancestry. The closely related groups are Ukrainian Canadians, the many East Slavic Canadians who also have Ukrainian ancestry, and Belarusian Canadians, the few East Slavic Canadians who also have Belarusian ancestry.

Russian Canadians have played important role in Canadian Politics, Religion, Society, and sometimes Economy since their deserters of Russian Empire remained strong in the 19th century as it's own nation to even this day.

Language
In the 2011 Canadian census, 6,972,170 Canadians indicated that they were Russian-speaking. As discussed in the Introduction, however, this does not mean that 10.2 million people in Canada would necessarily self-identify as being 'Russian-Canadian'.
