- Well, I really did not get your joke, it must be an insider joke,
- but do you know really any of those nationalities in Russia?
- I red in a newspaper by us that
- there was the first meeting of a Fenno-Ugrian Congress this summer
- in Izevsk. I really do not know where is Izevsk by the way, some where
- behind Moscow, I mean to the east.
-
- Today there were news that the karelians, finns and vepsians of the Republic
- of Karelia had a meeting where there were discussed about their situation
- in the Republic of Karelia as a minority.
-
- You are right there are hardly many finns living in Russia or any other
- Fenno-Ugrian people, they are a tiny minority among the many minorities.
- This is a joke:" the russians are the largest minority in Russia."
- I mean that Russia consists of hundreds of minorities in fact.

- Any one who knows more?
