Ethnic groups: As oil workers from across Russia far outnumber indigenous people in the region it should come as no surprise that the Nenets only make up 5.2% of the population, preceded by ethnic Russians (58.8%), Ukrainians (13%), and Tatars (5.4%). Other prominent ethnic groups include Belarusians (1.8%), Khants (1.7%), Azerbaijanis (1.65%), Bashkirs (1.56%), Komi (1.22%), and Moldovans (1.06%). (All figures are from the 2002 census)
