Rosstat national census coverage, including Crimea and Sevastopol, internationally recognized as Ukrainian territory. 2021 census count reproduced in original RAS-authored research. It is not an independent headcount, a language-user total or a current population estimate.
Altai-Kizhi communities are documented in the Altai Republic. The wider Altai language landscape includes distinct local languages and identities.[10]
Census sources may include this community within a broader category. Parent and subgroup counts must not be added together; each record retains the source’s classification.
Tadina’s 2011 study describes Burkhanist ritual and ethical traditions among Altai-Kizhi. This evidence concerns particular communities, not a single affiliation for all Altaians.[5]
No comparable people-wide religious percentage is established here. Regional survey results are available separately, where covered.
