Russian Americans are primarily Americans who trace their ancestry to Russia. The definition can be applied to recent Russian immigrants to the United States, as well as to settlers of 19th-century Russian settlements in northwestern America which includes today's Alaska, California, and Oregon. "Russian American" may refer to ethnic Russians, and is sometimes applied to other immigrants who came from the multi-national Russian empire and the Soviet Union. Some Ukrainian Americans, Belarusian Americans, Russian Jewish Americans, Russian German Americans, Georgian Americans, Azerbaijani Americans, Armenian Americans, and Rusyn Americans identify as Russian American. ==Demographics== The Russian American population is reported to be 3.13 million. Many Russian Americans do not speak Russian,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Aleksandr Strezev, Principia )〕 having been born in the USA and brought up in English-speaking homes. In 2007, however, Russian was the primary spoken language of 851,174 Americans at home, according to the U.S. Census.〔 According to the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard, 750,000 Russian Americans were ethnic Russians in 1990.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Immigration: Russia. Curriculum for Grade 6–12 Teachers )〕 The New York City metropolitan area continues to be by far the leading metropolitan gateway for Russian immigrants legally admitted into the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yearbook of Immigration Statistics: 2009 – Supplemental Table 2 )〕 Sometimes Carpatho-Rusyns and Ukrainians who emigrated from Carpathian Ruthenia in the 19th century and the beginning of 20th century identify as Russian Americans. More recent emigres would often refer to this group as the 'starozhili', which translates to mean "old residents". This group became the pillar of the Russian Orthodox Church in America . Today, most of this group has become assimilated into the local society, with ethnic traditions continuing to survive primarily around the church. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Russian Americans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
