[quote=Anonymous]Maybe similar to how many Russian-speaking immigrants and refugees from the FSU use the word "Russian" as a catch-all in the US, even though they would never describe themselves as Russian in Russia or in their home countries. I ws born in an FSU republic (not Russia), my family is from another FSU republic (also not Russia) and am of mixed descent, with no Russian ancestry whatsoever. But in the US, I would often refer to myself and other FSU people as Russian because it described our social reality in the US as a semi-cohesive group in relation to Americans. [/quote]
