Russians in the Baltic states is a broadly defined subgroup of the Russian diaspora who self-identify as ethnic Russians, or are citizens of Russia, and live in one of the three independent countries — Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania — primarily the consequences of the USSR's forced population transfers during occupation. As of 2021, there were approximately 500,000 ethnic Russians in the three countries,[1][2][3] having declined from ca 1.7 million in 1989,[4] the year of the last census during the 1944–1991 Soviet occupation of the three Baltic countries.
