Most impressed me, just non-related to reality map of Russian language. I could more believe, that it is 100% spoken in Bulgaria, or Hungary, than in Ukraine, or in Georgia.
More real current estimate, is 10-40% in East Europe and in Baltic counties, 30% in Georgia and in some other exUSSR states in Asia, and less than 50% in Ukraine.
And I must say, even when few Asia countries claimed to be "USSR Republics", in reality, there survived old Asian totalitarianism of old tribes and they was soviet just for tourists, but for citizens, Asian traditions remain almost unchanged until collapse of USSR.
