Issue with Population
The Russian version of the page states the population to be around 80,000 according to the 2010 Census. However, the current page has the population of Astrakhan Tatars at 7, which comes from the census data at http://www.gks.ru/free_doc/new_site/perepis2010/croc/Documents/Vol4/pub-04-01.pdf (the number is listed under the Tatar ethnicity). The issue here is, as mentioned in the page already, a large discrepancy between the number of officially declared Astrakhan Tatars and the number of people who are Tatars living in Astrakhan but only refer to themselves as Tatars.

Since this discrepancy leads to a somewhat-misleading and confusing population number at first glance, I believe the figure should be changed to directly mention the discrepancy. However, I am unsure of how exactly this should be presented in the page considering the lack of citation for the original number. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:18D0:9380:FD63:6601:652:3F72 (talk) 18:24, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
