Russian speakers

Native Moscow communicators

People who speak Russian, whether as a native language or as a second language.

The term often appears in discussions of diaspora communities, language policy, or geopolitics: Russian speakers in the Baltic states, content for Russian speakers.

It encompasses ethnic Russians abroad and non-Russians who learned the language, particularly in former Soviet republics where Russian served as a lingua franca.
