Jan 4, 2016 at 19:19 comment added Tom Au @Alex: Your earlier vote to close has expired after one week. You referred in a comment to "voting down," which is what I think you meant to do (or what I would have done in your shoes). But you voted to close instead, which has a different meaning. In any event, thanks for your help and commentary.
Jan 4, 2016 at 17:36 comment added Alex @Tom Au: How do you know that I downvoted it? My record does not show this. Just for the case I upvoted now. Concerning the vote to close, I do not know how it can be withdrawn.
Jan 4, 2016 at 16:32 comment added Tom Au @Alex: I agree with your downvote, but not with the votes to close. Downvote means "please fix the question," which was a perfectly appropriate response. The "vote to close" was a comment on the question's "triviality" when several answers, including your own, discussed the various nuances and difficulties in measuring "Russia" and "Russians." The two different votes mean two rather different things. In any event, I did my best to improve the question to the best of my ability. That is, I asked for a definition of "Russia" while providing a "first guess" of my own.

Dec 28, 2015 at 23:18 comment added Alex @Tom Au: that's another reason why I voted down: it you ask such a question it is YOUR responsibility to define what you mean by "Russia".

Dec 28, 2015 at 20:24 comment added Tom Au @Alex: see Mark C. Wallace's comment. "You'll have to define the boundaries of Russia." I have found plenty of statistics and references to the German occupied Soviet Union, but not to "Russia."
Dec 28, 2015 at 20:02 comment added Alex It is a trivial question: the answer can be easily found on Internet. I vote to close.

Dec 28, 2015 at 18:09 comment added MCW You'll have to define the borders of Russia before the question can be answered. In 1941 there was no legal entity known as Russia - there was a Russian Federated Socialist Republic. I think those borders are depicted on the map you reference.
Dec 28, 2015 at 18:01 comment added Semaphore How might we define "Russia proper" today? The Russian Federation, or a subset thereof? As @TylerDurden points out this probably should be clarified.
Dec 28, 2015 at 17:53 comment added Tyler Durden What do you mean by "Russia"? Are you talking about the RSFSR (Российская Советская Федеративная Социалистическая Республика) or something different than that? If you are defining "Russia" in some special way, you will need to be specific about what borders you are talking about.
